User talk:Usernamechallenged

November 2018

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia with this username. This is because your username, PlacerCounty, does not meet our username policy.

Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below) and continue editing.

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:

Adding {{unblock-un|WLCA18}} below. 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 "Email this user" on their talk page.
At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
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 {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this notice, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Longhair\^talk 19:31, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

WanderlustCalifornia (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Decline reason:

A Google search indicates that Wanderlust is some sort of event or organization. You will need to choose a different name. 331dot (talk) 20:15, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that your edits appear to be solely related to the linking of website. If you have a relationship to this website in any way you need to be aware that promotional editing is not permitted at Wikipedia. -- Longhair\^talk 19:48, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

usernamechallenged (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Accept reason:

I have changed your username; since that was the only reason for the block, I will lift it. I do urge you to read and if necessary comply with WP:COI and WP:PAID before further edits. 331dot (talk) 21:07, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That username is likewise unacceptable. We do not permit usernames that imply official or shared use, and merely abbreviating the previous (rejected) username isn't going to make it acceptable. —Jeremy v^_^v ^Bori! 20:45, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
