Request for Usurpation

Hello, American.Press. A request has been made at Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations to usurp, or "take over," your username because you have not used it to edit, and another user would like to use it to edit. Wikipedia:Usurpation says that any unused username may be usurped if the user is given thirty days notice to object and does not do so.

If you have an email set in your preferences, you should be getting an email from a bureaucrat explaining how to consent or object to this process.

If you do not object to being renamed, to a new username in order for another user to utilize the name you currently have, please log in and post a reply here saying so (you may also tell us what username you would like to be renamed to, or we will provide you with a generic one).

If you do nothing, the request will be filled after thirty days, and your account will be moved to a generic username. You may request that it be moved to a new username of your choice at any time.

If you object to being renamed, please log in and make an edit. You may make an edit here saying "No," you may make an edit to blank this page, or any other edit you like; making any edit at all prevents your username from being usurped, because users with edits cannot have their usernames usurped.

Please note this does not prevent you from editing, or cause you to lose any data; all your preferences, watchlist, and other user settings will be transferred to a new username if your current one is usurped.

Thank you for your time. American.Press 09:34, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

User is blocked From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search secure login

This account or IP address has been blocked from editing.

You were blocked by Pschemp for the following reason (see our blocking policy):

Your username has been blocked indefinitely because it may be rude or inflammatory, unnecessarily long/confusing, too similar to an existing user, contains the name of an organization or website, contains the word Wikipedia or the name of any other Wikimedia Foundation project, or is otherwise inappropriate (see our blocking and username policies for more information). You are encouraged to create a new account and contribute to Wikipedia under a more appropriate username. Wikipedia:Username provides guidance on selecting an appropriate username. You may also edit Wikipedia without creating an account.

You are not allowed to edit Wikipedia under an inappropriate username. If you would like to discuss the block, you may appeal on your talk page or email the administrator who blocked you. Due to Wikipedia's mechanism for enforcing name changes, your IP address may be temporarily blocked. Unless you have also been engaging in vandalism or impersonation of another user, we will remove that block as soon as possible.

If you want to keep the contributions from your old account for your new username, please follow these directions: (1) Add to your user talk page. This is possible because even when you are blocked, you can still edit your own talk page. (2) Soon, an admin may come to unblock you. (3) You will have 24 hours after the unblock to file a request on Wikipedia:Changing username before you may be re-blocked. Note that this can only be done before you create the new one. For more information, please visit Wikipedia:Changing username. In many cases (especially if your account has few or no edits), it is a lot easier to create a new account. Your IP address is 76.169.12.78.

You are not blocked from reading pages, only from editing them. If you have just clicked a red link, you were blocked from starting a new page as no article on that topic exists yet.
