User talk:A Traitor

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia with this username. This is because your username, A Traitor, is unnecessarily confrontational. You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Changing username.

If you think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. -- The Anome (talk) 10:40, 24 May 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm an uninvolved non-admin editor. I don't fully know why the editor has been blocked, however, I am surprised to hear that 'traitor' is so unacceptable as to warrant a block. I'm also slightly perplexed by the 'confrontational' reasoning. Is there precedent for such a decision? Was the editor involved in disruptive conduct? AusLondonder (talk) 23:28, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

I'm going to ask the blocking administrator to comment here. Newyorkbrad (talk) 00:57, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Personally, I wouldn't have blocked for this username. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 09:37, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
