Your account, Ipbreason-dropdown has been blocked from changing Wikipedia because the username may not meet our username policy. This is not anything against you, and you are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our guidelines. We hope to see you changing again soon!

If you feel this block was made wrongly, you may quickly and easily ask to be unblocked.

Our username policy says how you should choose your username. Put simply, you should not have a username that people find offensive, advertises a real world group or company, or is confusing (for example, if it pretends to be another user).

If you have already made changes and wish to keep your changes under a new name you may ask us to rename your account. If you want to, please:

1. Ask for an unblock

Type {{unblock|reason}} on your user talk page which you should still be able to change. You want to change your username, so say that. If an administrator thinks that you should be unblocked, he or she will do so for you, normally for 24 hours.

2. Ask for a change in username

Go here and ask for a new name. It will be changed by one of our bureaucrats when they see the request.

If you have made very little or no changes, then it would be a lot easier to just create a new account.

Please note that the software Wikipedia uses may automatically block you from creating a new account. This is a mistake, and should not have happened. If this has happened, use the unblock template as explained above, and an administrator will fix it for you.

If you think you should not have been blocked, add {{unblock|your reason here}} on your user talk page or email the administrator who blocked you. You can also send an e-mail to simple-admins-l@lists.wikimedia.org and an administrator will look at your reason and reply.

    Your account has been blocked indefinitely from changing Wikipedia because it clearly does not meet our username policy – it is a bad word, attacks or pretends to be another person, or clearly shows that you do not want to make Wikipedia better (see our blocking and username policies for more information).

We invite everyone to make changes to Wikipedia that improve it, but users are not allowed to change with bad usernames. We do not allow trolling or other bad behaviour. If you think that this block is unfair, you may ask to be unblocked by adding {{unblock|your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. If you cannot do this or the reason is private, please send an e-mail to simple-admins-l@lists.wikimedia.org and an administrator will look at your reason and reply. You may want to read our guide to unblock requests before asking to be unblocked.

    Your account has been blocked from changing Wikipedia, because your username and changes show that your account will be exclusively used for advertising.

If you do not agree with this block, please reply on your talk page by adding {{unblock|reason}}, replacing reason with why you think the block is wrong, or send an e-mail to simple-admins-l@lists.wikimedia.org and an administrator will look at your reason and reply.

To change pages, please log in. Changing pages by anonymous users from your shared IP address or address range may be currently disabled. Registered users, however, are still able to change. If you are currently blocked from creating an account, you may ask to be unblocked or send an e-mail to simple-admins-l@lists.wikimedia.org and an administrator will look at your reason and reply. When contacting us, please tell us your preferred user name and an account will be created for you. Please check this list to see if the user name you choose has not already been taken. We apologize for any inconvenience.

    Due to repeated vandalism (see change log), editing by anonymous users from your school, library or institution's IP address is currently disabled. You can still read the encyclopedia. To stop abuse, account creation using this IP address is probably also disabled.

    If editing is required for class projects, please have your teacher or network administrator contact us (with reference to this IP address) at simple-admins-l from an email address listed on your school's website. Alternatively, if you have no Internet access at home, you may email us using your school's email address, telling us which username you would like. An account will be made for you. Please check this list that the user name you chose has not already been taken.

    Thank you.

In extreme cases, an entire network may be blocked to prevent an abusive user from continually changing their IP address in order to evade blocks or abusing multiple accounts. Administrators: CheckUsers have access to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy, and therefore must be consulted before this block can be removed.
