<<unblock-un|This user has requested to be unblocked so that he/she can file a request on Wikipedia:Changing username to change his/her name to Optical Illusion (talk • contribs).>>
You have now been unblocked for the next 24 hours so you can file your request at Wikipedia:Changing usernames. Thanks. -- Netsnipe ► 07:38, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
Hey, I don't know if you are going to read this or not but as I am still blocked despite your efforts, this is the only page I can use to contact anyone. I don't know exactly what went wrong but when I went to post my request here:Wikipedia:Changing usernames I was still blocked from editing. If you see this Netsnipe, or if another admin is able to help, I would like to be unblocked so that I can ask to have my name changed (which is why my account was blocked in the first place). Until then I will repost this to try attract attention. --Communist0 08:30, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- Huh, that's odd -- your block log shows you've been unblocked by Netsnipe. Are you getting a different message, now, anything about "autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by..." or anything? Luna Santin 02:19, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, this is what it says:
Your user name or IP address has been blocked from editing. You were blocked by AmiDaniel for the following reason (see our blocking policy): Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "Communist0". The reason given for Communist0's block is:
Your username has been blocked indefinitely because it is confusing, inflammatory, appears to be designed to impersonate other users, or is otherwise inappropriate (see our blocking and username policies for more information). You are encouraged to create a new account and contribute to Wikipedia under a more appropriate username, and in a constructive manner. Wikipedia:Username provides guidance on selecting an appropriate username. You may also edit Wikipedia without creating an account. You are not allowed to edit Wikipedia under an inappropriate username. If you would like to discuss the block, you may edit your talk page or email the administrator who blocked you.
This is odd because it says I was autoblocked because of my IP address even though I am logged into my account. --Communist0 08:26, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
- Oy. Sorry about all of this. Seems silly to me. Found and disabled the autoblock. You're free to email me if you need anything. Luna Santin 04:07, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Great, thank you very much. --Communist0 08:26, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Rename
As requested, I have renamed you as User:Optical Illusion. You may now like to move this page to your new username. Warofdreams talk 04:21, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
