User talk:Quite Scientific

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] May 2008

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because your username and contributions indicate that this is an account used by a group rather than an individual editor--this is prohibited per our policy on usernames..
This is often not a reflection on the user, and you are encouraged to choose a new account name which does meet our guidelines and are invited to contribute to Wikipedia under an appropriate username. If you feel this block was made in error, you may quickly and easily appeal it - see below.

Our username policy provides guidance on selecting your username. In brief, usernames should not be offensive, disruptive, promotional, related to a 'real-world' group or organization, confusing, or misleading.

If you have already made edits and wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name you may request a change in username which is quick and easy. To do so, please follow these directions:

  1. Add {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. This is possible because even when you are blocked, you can still edit your own talk page.
  2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
  3. Please note, you may only request a name that is not already in use. The account is created upon acceptance – do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change since we can far easier allocate your new name to you, if it is not yet used. Usernames that have already been taken are listed here. For more information, please visit Wikipedia:Changing username.
Last, the automated software systems that prevent vandalism may have been activated, which can cause new account creation to be blocked also. If you have not acted in a deliberately inappropriate manner, please let us know if this happens, and we will deactivate the block as soon as possible. You may also appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below or emailing the administrator who blocked you. jonny-mt 13:03, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
I just wanted to add a quick note to let you know that only this account has been blocked--if you wish to participate in the deletion discussion for The Cotton Jones Basket Ride, you can do so either under a new account name (please note that this is only if you decide to make a permanent change; see Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts for more information), a renamed account, or without logging in (please note that this last option will reveal your IP address). Thank you. --jonny-mt 14:54, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
