[edit] May 2008

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because of concerns that the chosen username may not meet our username policy.
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 03:35, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

Allowing username change to Rollyta (talk · contribs). Please put this request in at Wikipedia:Changing username as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking.

[edit] Changing usernames

Hi Q,

I noticed that you added a request to Wikipedia:Changing usernames only to have it removed shortly after as a malformed request. When submitting a request for a username change, please use the following format:

{{subst:Renameuser|CURRENT|NEW|3=Reason for requested renaming.}} ~~~~

So in your case you would have something like:

{{subst:Renameuser|Qwertyuiasdfghjzxcvb|Rollyta|3=My current username was blocked for being overly confusing, so I would like to change to a more acceptable one.}} ~~~~

I would submit it for you, but you need to be logged in from the account you want the username changed for.

Good luck, and let me know if you have any questions! --jonny-mt 04:23, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

There ya go; happy editing! --jonny-mt 07:15, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
