I'm a bit confused as to your question. You see, your username is Josef Fritzl. I'm sorry if I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to say. Sophus Bie ^(talk) 10:03, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, it's Josef Fritzul. Besides which, I still don't see why I'm not allowed to have that as a username. Josef Fritzul (talk) 10:32, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, I fail at reading comprehension. Give me one second to see if there's some legitimate reason for it. Sophus Bie ^(talk) 10:35, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

K, cheers. Josef Fritzul (talk) 10:40, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's probably because of this Josef Fritzl, whom some would consider reference to offensive, and therefore a violation of the username policies. Unfortunately, unlike most things in Wikipedia, the seems to be no arguing with this, so you're stuck with the name you have. Sophus Bie ^(talk) 10:50, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You too are blocked for the same reason. Your username is similar to Josef Fritzl.–Capricorn42 (talk) 10:49, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Um, so what do I do now? Josef Fritzul (talk) 10:57, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to contribute, create another account that does not violate the username policy. Choose a username that is not similar to Josef Fritzl. –Capricorn42 (talk) 11:04, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can't really do that as just about every IP I use (ie home/work) has already been blocked due to other vandalism. Josef Fritzul (talk) 11:07, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
