User talk:Username~simplewiki
- If you feel this block was made wrongly, you may quickly and easily ask to be unblocked.
Our username policy says how you should choose your username. Put simply, you should not have a username that people find offensive, advertises a real world group or company, or is confusing (for instance, if it pretends to be another user).
If you have already made changes and wish to keep your changes under a new name you may ask us to rename your account. If you want to, please follow these directions:
- 1. Ask for an unblock
- Type ((unblock|reason)) on your Talk:User talk page which you should still be able to change – you want to change your username, so say that. If an admin thinks that you should be unblocked, he or she will do so for you, normally for 24 hours.
- 2. Request a change in username
- Go here and ask for a new name. It will be changed by someone once they get the request.
If you have made few or no changes, then it would be a lot easier to simply create a new account.
Please note that the software Wikipedia uses may automatically block you from creating a new account – this is a mistake, and shouldn't have happened. If this has happened, attract attention using the unblock template as explained above, and an admin will fix it for you.
If you think you shouldn't have been blocked, add ((unblock|your reason here)) below or email the administrator who blocked you. You can also send an e-mail to simple-admins-l@lists.wikimedia.org and an administrator will look at your reason and reply.
Disruptive user name
[change source]Please pick another name, which is not possibly confusing to others. You can use any nickname, but don't use something like this. -- Netoholic @ 18:44, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Banned
[change source]I have decided to twack you with the banhammer. Here you are! Watch this video: [1]--You are a moron! TALK TO ME! (talk) 14:12, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
Your account will be renamed
[change source]Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Username. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Username~simplewiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

Renamed
[change source]This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: Special:GlobalRenameRequest. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk)
