Please help me with... My account seems to have been blocked. When I first made it there was an issue with my username, but I requested to change it and this was approved. I tried to make an edit today and can't. I'd like to know why I have been blocked again if my username is now OK. ShirleyBird79 (talk) 15:51, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To appeal your block, simply place {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} on your talk page. @Nihonjoe: I don't see any problem with this username nor with either of the edits they have made. Can you explain the block? Someone who's wrong on the internet (talk) 16:02, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Someone who's wrong on the internet: It looks like their username was originally "Shirleypooface" (you can see this in the signature in this edit). At some point, they changed their username to what it is currently. I'm having difficulty finding the log for the rename, but that would be why they were blocked over a year ago. It looks like whoever changed their username never unblocked the account (or requested it be unblocked). I've now unblocked them. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 23:29, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
