January 2021 edit

 
Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text

{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names.

 Thank you. — JJMC89(T·C) 21:03, 18 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Help me! edit

Hello, I am not sure what to do about my name. This name, RuRu Productions, is just me, Arusha Baker. I do not want to use my own name. But I would like to use a name that I use on some social media. Is that ok? (RuRu Productions (talk) 02:02, 19 January 2021 (UTC))Reply

Usually I would not change another person's talk page comments, but this time, I took the liberty of reformatting your unblock request. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 04:00, 19 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Please let me keep the account so I can keep the work I did on 1/18/2021. I can change my name if need be edit

{{unblock-un|ruproduces}}

May I ask how long I should expect to wait? Would choosing yet a different username be of service? edit

Please help me with... Hello, I have been reading procedure on Wiki and am trying to discuss this matter of me being blocked with an administrator. To my understanding, as quoted below from the link below, my block will not be lifted until I speak with an administrator. How do I speak with one? I cannot email the person who blocked me, and I cannot enter the teahouse. I am happy to suggest another username, if this is appropriate. But, if I need to wait, I can do that as well. Will someone please advise? Thank you.RuRu Productions (talk) 16:37, 22 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia:Appealing a block https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Appealing_a_block

"An indefinite block means the blocking administrator did not set a time limit or expiration for the block. The user needs to discuss the matter with an administrator before any unblock will occur. It could be because the user needs to confirm things are okay and that nothing's wrong, or it could be due to some problem needing attention, or a problem that is deemed to need the user to acknowledge that they understand that a behavior was inappropriate before being unblocked. "

RuRu Productions, An admin will come along to review the request in due course, but I suspect that your suggested username 'ruproduces' is not sufficient, as it still implies it is an official company account and therefore indicates shared user. As an example, 'Arusha @ RuRu Productions' would however be fine, as it would clearly indicate that it is an account used by an individual. Best, Darren-M talk 16:59, 22 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

It looks like I was blocked and blocked again? edit

Hello, I am doing my best to follow along here. I might be too stupid to use Wiki, which does not make sense but I am sincerely so confused. It appears that an admin went ahead and changed my username, as per my request, but then another admin blocked it? I would like to move forward, and maintain my edit. I would like an explanation as to why I am blcoked again, how RuAt416stories could have been changed from Ru Ru productions, but then blocked, and yet not appear as a user, all the while RuAt416 is how I need to log in. I hope my written tone does not come across as anything but genuinely confused.

Is my next step to come up with another proposed username? I came up with the RuAt416 by reading the guidelines. Can someone show me how my attempts have failed? Thank you - Arusha RuAt416stories (talk) 23:16, 28 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

RuAt416stories, it doesn't look like you're blocked to me—perhaps you misread the message stating you were unblocked? Perryprog (talk) 23:55, 28 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
Ah, I think I see what happened—it looks like the wrong parameter was set on the unblock template causing it to look like it was denied. I've changed it to (hopefully) be correct. Perryprog (talk) 23:58, 28 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
