original username blocked edit

 
This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because of concerns that the chosen username may not meet our username policy.
This is often not a reflection on the user, and you are encouraged to choose a new account name which does meet our guidelines and are invited to contribute to Wikipedia under an appropriate username. If you feel this block was made in error, you may quickly and easily appeal it - see below.

Our username policy provides guidance on selecting your username. In brief, usernames should not be offensive, disruptive, promotional, related to a 'real-world' group or organization, confusing, or misleading.

If you have already made edits and wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name you may request a change in username. To do so, please follow these directions:

  1. Add {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. This is possible because even when you are blocked, you can still edit your own talk page.
  2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
  3. Please note, you may only request a name that is not already in use. The account is created upon acceptance – do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change since we can far easier allocate your new name to you, if it is not yet used. Usernames that have already been taken are listed here. For more information, please visit Wikipedia:Changing username. Keep in mind, though, that creating a new account is much faster and easier.
Last, the automated software systems that prevent vandalism may have been activated, which can cause new account creation to be blocked also. If you have not acted in a deliberately inappropriate manner, please let us know if this happens, and we will deactivate the block as soon as possible. You may also appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below or emailing the administrator who blocked you.

Hi Forgetful, I have reset the block parameters on this account so you can now create a new account - sorry for missing that before. The reason I blocked your account was because your username is so long and random, its very hard for other editors to communicate with you effectively. Your contributions to Wikipedia are valued, so I encourage you to either request a rename of this account (which I can help with) or simply start a new account with a shorter name. Thanks, Gwernol 13:54, 12 June 2008 (UTC)Reply


 

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

Allowing username change to forgetful5434 (talk · contribs). Please put this request in at Wikipedia:Changing username as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking.

hi, I'd like to change my username to forgetful5434, i hope that it is less confusing than the longer one, if it is, then how about forgetful5? I tend to use "forgetful54341087097153001984" for all my internet accounts because there's very little chance that it will already be taken, also i find my hotmail account doesn't get loads of spam because no spammers guess my address. I wasn't trying to confuse anyone, sorry for the inconvenience. I'd like to keep the edits I made under a single user account, and would prefer not to simply create a new account. I hope that isn't too much extra work for you to help me out on this. Thankyou
