October 2021

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because your username, WhoreDumpling, does not meet our username policy. Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have selected a new username that meets the username policy guidelines, which are summarized below.

Per the username policy, a username should represent an individual and should not: represent a group or organization; be promotional; be misleading (such as indicating possession of special user rights or being a "Bot" account (unless approved for such purposes)); be offensive or otherwise disruptive. However, a username that contains the name of a organization and also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87" is allowed, though, among others, the guidance on conflict of interest and the policy of paid-contribution disclosure are relevant.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our username policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you wish for your existing contributions to carry over under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" from their talk page.
At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a change of name request.
Your requested new username cannot already be in use. Therefore, please check the list here to see if a name is taken prior to requesting a change of name.

Appeals: If, after reading the guide to appealing blocks you believe you were blocked in error, then you may appeal this block by adding {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this notice. Orange Mike | Talk 17:06, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Procedural decline, no response in a week. Understandable, given the delay. If you return and are interested in an unblock, please create a new unblock request, and ping me (by typing {{ping|Floquenbeam}} and signing your post). Floquenbeam (talk) 19:28, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I see this unblock request has been unreviewed since 2021-10-16. Are you still seeking an unblock? --Floquenbeam (talk) 16:11, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Floquenbeam: Yes I am seeking an unblock still. I had stopped checking after November came and went with nothing. WhoreDumpling ⧚talk⧛ 21:41, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Accept reason:

Allowing username change to requested username. Please select an option from Wikipedia:Changing username and file a request as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking. Floquenbeam (talk) 02:12, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Since your username is the only reason for the block, and there are very few edits associated with this username, it might be easier to log out, just create the new username yourself, and start using it; no further action on this block would be needed, it would not be considered block evasion, and you could start editing right away. That's my suggestion. However, if you'd like to keep the history of this account for some reason, you can confirm that here, and I'll unblock you so that you can request a rename at WP:RENAME. You'd be expected to wait until the rename is processed before editing any pages besides the rename request. Let me know which way you want to do it. --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:55, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fine with waiting and going through the rename request; it'd probably be easier than making an extra email to make a new account (and then remembering that's the email I used...). Could I at least write drafts in my sandbox until the username change is processed? I can't use my sandbox at the moment (which kinda sucks 'cause I got blocked mid-writing a page into my sandbox and haven't been able to save any of it). Thanks for being helpful -WhoreDumpling ⧚talk⧛ 22:03, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've unblocked you, so you can now request a username change. While I, personally, wouldn't block you if you edited your sandbox after making a username change request, but before it went thru, I can't speak for other admins. Might be best to wait; you've already waited a long time, and the global renamers usually act fairly quickly. --Floquenbeam (talk) 02:15, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
