Username concerns[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. However, I noticed that your username (190.234.1.221IP) may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it is misleading: it resembles an IP address. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 18:29, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

January 2011[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you are reminded not to attack other editors, as you did on User talk:76.183.242.83. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. You are welcome to rephrase your comment as a civil criticism of the article. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 18:30, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, 190.234.1.221IP, does not meet our username policy.

Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
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. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. —C.Fred (talk) 18:52, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have unblocked "Wikipedian explorer" so that you may use that account. You are reminded to stick with one and only one account in the future and not to use multiple accounts unless for good reasons. Regards, –MuZemike 21:37, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There are some other issues which need to be addressed before we can unblock here. I am currently conferring with the blocking administrator about this. –MuZemike 18:36, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
