[edit]
The account with this username has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because of concerns that the chosen username may not meet our username policy.
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, or misleading. Also, usernames may not end with the string "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

If you have already made edits and wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name you may request a change in username. To do so, please follow these directions:

  1. 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.
  2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
  3. 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.
  4. In the alternative, you can "abandon" the contributions under this username and create a new account, which is much faster and easier.
Last, the automated software systems that prevent vandalism may have been activated, which can cause new account creation to be blocked also. If you have not acted in a deliberately inappropriate manner, please let us know if this happens, and we will deactivate the block as soon as possible. You may also appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below or emailing the administrator who blocked you. Blueboy96 20:24, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

{{unblock|My username is taken from the Frank Miller/Batman quote (see: All_Star_Batman_and_Robin_the_Boy_Wonder#Reception) which I think most people find humorous. Does the use of "goddamn", even in this context, make a username inappropriate?}}

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

I discussed it a bit with an other admin, and since I personally agree with you, I have unblocked the account. Keep in mind though that your name is a bit borderline, if you wish you can rename your account at any time by visiting WP:CHU. I will contact the admin that blocked you so you can both discuss the issue if you wish. Have a nice day!
