Request reason:

Dear Orange Mike - I wasn't trying to impersonate anyone. I said if you would like me to change my user name then I was happy to do it. When I was editing the Iridology page I noticed that there were no pages for several of the leading pioneers of Iridology. I went into safari (I was working in firefox) and created the Milo account so that I could add a Farida Sharan page without messing up what I was doing on the Iridology page under the farida sharan account - I don't know how to go back and forth. I went to farida sharans website and copied and pasted her bio into the wikipage I made for her and I was going through the process of editing it when I was told I was copyright infringing. I wasn't going to leave it the way it was. It was a work in progress. I feel that I am being unfairly blocked just because I didn't know about user name policies or using more than one account. I said I was happy to change my user name. I don't believe that your real name is Orangemike. So why am I being blocked for calling myself a name that I'm not, AFTER I have said I will happily change my name. Would you please help with this. My whole purpose for being on Wikipedia in the first place was entirely honorable and the current Iridology page is biased and factually inaccurate. Surely that is what this should be about and not blocking me for not calling myself OrangeBonny or something. Thanks Faridasharan (talk) 15:53, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

Accept reason:

I am unblocking you on the condition that you request a name change before you continue to edit. Do so as soon as you can at WP:CHUS. I will monitor your talk page and if you don't request a name change in a reasonable time I will be forced to reblock you. (And on a side note, his name really is Orange Mike, believe it or not, check out his user page.) -- Atama頭 18:32, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

"Orange Mike" isn't my real name in any legal sense, but it's one I'm known by in a number of places around the world and the internet. There are people who don't know me by any other name. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:06, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your help Orangemike ;)

Hello - I tried to change my name to LeafRed66 but it doesn't seem to have worked (it was hard to resist calling myself OrangeBonny but didn't want to risk repeating the impersonation offence;) Have I done it incorrectly or does it just take time. Thanks

Hello OrangeMike - I just realized it was case sensitive so now I am all set. Thank you for your help. I think I am up and running but I have a lot to learn before I feel like I know what I am doing on this site. I appreciate your help. Am I allowed to publish the changes I made to the Iridology page now?
