User talk:The Pokemon Nigga

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Your account has been blocked indefinitely because it is a blatant violation of our username policy - it is obviously profane, attacks or impersonates another person, or clearly suggests that your intention is not to contribute to the encyclopedia (see our blocking and username policies for more information). We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia, but users are not allowed to edit with inappropriate usernames and trolling or other disruptive behavior is unacceptable.

It hardly seems fair to block me as disruptive before I even make any edits. Frankly, it smacks of prejudice (and possible racism) on the part of the Wikipedia staff, and specifically Orange Mike. I respectfully request, and insist, that my editing privilleges be immediately restored. The Pokemon Nigga (talk) 14:54, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

As an aside, the fact that I enjoy the Pokemon video games in no way makes me unfit to edit this encyclopedia. The Pokemon Nigga (talk) 14:58, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up

like a raisin in the sun?

Or fester like a sore--

And then run?

Does it stink like rotten meat?

Or crust and sugar over--

like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags

like a heavy load.

Or does it explode? The Pokemon Nigga (talk) 15:03, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because the name could give offense to other editors. It has been suggested that your intention in choosing this name may have been playful rather than disruptive in intent; but it could offend many other people due to the complex history of the word and its variants.
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.
