Grawp1 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I just joined Wikipedia and I don't know why I can't edit pages. It said I was blocked for "Username Violations". Grawp is a Harry Potter characrer and 1 is my baseball uniform number. It would be nice of you to let me edit again. All I want to edit is video game and sports articles anyway.
Decline reason:
Sorry about that. User:Grawp is a very destructive and grossly immature vandal, and you really don't want to be associated with his name in any way. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 02:20, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
Unfortunately, there's someone who goes by the name "Grawp" here who messes things up by renaming random pages to stuff like "HAGGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????" and he makes lots of accounts with similar names. You'll have to choose a different name. --Random832 (contribs) 02:21, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

- 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 which is quick and easy. To do so, please follow these directions:
- 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.
- At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
- 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.

- (Actually, since User:Grawp1 has no edits other than to this page, the person may as well just start an account from scratch; no need to rename, and no advantage to doing so.) --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 03:42, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
