User talk:Bumfiddler

July 2021
Hello, I'm Rdp060707. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Ceiling fan, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Rdp060707&#124;talk 03:19, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Bumfiddler", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it is an innuendo that some might find offensive. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. While not grossly offensive to most people this username is likey to offend some people to some degree and it is not a good way to show that you are taking Wikipedia seriously.

Hello, my username is completely okay.
To bumfiddle means to spoil. I named myself Bumfiddler, because I don't have much confidence in my editing. Bumfiddler (talk) 04:09, 14 July 2021 (UTC)


 * I'm not going to report your username to the admins, as it is not grossly offensive, but I do think that it is very likely that some people will assume that it means something other than what you say. I think you would be well advised to consider an alternative. --DanielRigal (talk) 19:25, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Considering the user's edits so far are low-key vandalism, it's pretty clear what the intent of the username is. ... disco spinster   talk  19:29, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

 Your account has been blocked indefinitely because it is being used only for vandalism. Furthermore, your username is a blatant violation of our username policy, meaning that it is profane, threatens, attacks or impersonates another person, or 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 we do not tolerate 'bad faith' editing such as trolling or other disruptive behavior. If you think there are good reasons why these don't describe your account, or why you should be unblocked, you are welcome to appeal this block – read our guide to appealing blocks to understand more about unblock requests, and then add the text at the end of your user talk page. ... disco spinster   talk  19:27, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
