Requested username:

Request reason:

I know that I was punished for trolling a user's/Admin's talk page in the past, but I would like to ask if I could be unblocked just this once so I could change my username. Because I don't want people to confuse me for being the real Mike MacRae comedian himself, just to be safe and sorry. Comedian Mike MacRae (talk) 01:23, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Blocks are not a punishment, they are a means to end and prevent disruption to Wikipedia. Username changes are only available to users in good standing, you are not as you are blocked. As this account is not verified as belonging to the person you speak of, any confusion should be minimal. As you seem to suggest that you don't wish to make any edits, there are no grounds to lift the block. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 07:04, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I’m asking to be unblocked so I can edit again, I just wanted to be unblocked just this once so I can change my username. For my safety, I just want to rename this user account so I won’t get in trouble for using the comedian, Mike MacRae’s name as my username. I just wanna be unblocked just this once so I can safely change my username so I won’t get in trouble. I already tried changing it once, but it got declined. Please I’m begging you, please can I just be unblocked just this once so I can change my username. I wanna do it for my safety so I won’t get in trouble for using his name.

Decline reason:

Asked and answered already. No. Yamla (talk) 19:57, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]


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.

You are not permitted to remove declined unblock requests for your currently active block. Do not do so again. --Yamla (talk) 19:57, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Stop it. You've been warned. You are not permitted to remove declined unblock requests for your currently active block. You are free to make a new unblock request, but must not remove (or edit) the declined requests. --Yamla (talk) 20:55, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I don't think that's the case to do that. Unfortunately I don't know what that is, but I think it's unessecary. Another thing I forgot to mention is that I used his name by accident, that's why I wanted to change it. It's just that I'm a fan of his comedy work, that's all.

Since you continued to remove the requests even after being told not to, I have removed access. You won't be unblocked to just change your username, please reread the above. If there is a threat to your safety, you should contact your local authorities, but I don't think that's the case. 331dot (talk) 22:12, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

To provide explanations, please do as the red notice above states. Evasion of your block only hurts your efforts. 331dot (talk) 23:20, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Rename from "Comedian Mike MacRae" to "ComedianFan34"

per request --Deepfriedokra (talk) 15:33, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And reversed. That was very slippery of you requesting rename at global requests when you're rename request had been declined here. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 15:41, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

check user block and rename request

Almost forgot. FWIW, he's been trolling on other of his accounts as well. Has requested renaming out of concern for his safety. Dubious of this claim. Told him to email privacy@wikimedia.org --Deepfriedokra (talk) 12:38, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please note

it has been determined that this user is not this Mike MacRae. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:29, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
