This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because the username, Prince Rogers Nelson, matches the name of a well-known, living person.

If you are the person represented by this username, please note that the practice of blocking such usernames is to protect you from being impersonated, not to discourage you from editing Wikipedia. You are welcome to continue to edit under this username, but we ask the following:

1. Please be willing and able to prove your identity to Wikipedia.
2. Please send an e-mail to info-enwikimedia.org. Be aware that the volunteer response team that handles e-mail is indeed operated entirely by volunteers, and the reply may not be immediate.

If you are not the person represented by this username, you are welcome to choose a new username (see below).

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account. 

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

1. Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
3. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.

If you think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

The text they told me to put doesn't seem to work. I want to change my name to 1999 Little Red Corvettes, please.

That's because you copied the "tlx" part too from the source, rather than just what was actually displaying. I've fixed it for you, and you don't need this second request now so I've changed it into just a straight comment. 82.35.107.31 (talk) 23:00, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. Why is the "tlx" in there to begin with? Prince Rogers Nelson (talk) 01:14, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

tlx is a string which stops the template from displaying, so that you can see the code behind it. For example, {{Like}} produces Like, but {{tlx|Like}} produces {{Like}}. See User:Yunshui/Templates for beginners for a basic introduction to templates. I've unblocked your account, but you'll need to put in a name change request at WP:CHU to get renamed, please do so ASAP. Yunshui ^雲_水 08:52, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Excellent, thank you. I love computers but don't always understand them. I'll put in the request right away. Prince Rogers Nelson (talk) 13:44, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for helping me change my username, everybody. Little Red 1999 Corvette (talk) 16:58, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
