User talk:Jackbadcock

 Your account has been blocked indefinitely because the chosen username is a clear violation of our username policy – it is obviously profane and suggests that you do not intend to contribute positively 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.

Hi there. I don't know if this was automated or monitored by a person but Jack Badcock is my real name. I'm not going to provide my passport to prove that but every other online platform I use seems to recognise it as reasonable to use my real name. That seems ridiculous to be indefinitely blocked for this. Please undo this. Jackbadcock (talk) 00:00, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Then file a formal unblock request, following the instructions above precisely, and another administrator will evaluate it. I am a real person and it looks like trolling to me. Cullen328 (talk) 00:04, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I see that you disclosed a conflict of interest regarding Dallahan, a band that has Jack Badcock as a member. I am going to change the reason for the block. Cullen328 (talk) 00:16, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Block appeal

 * Please be aware that we have a flood of usernames every single day that appear to be profane/trolling in nature. It is necessary to block them because 99.9% are here to create trouble. Cullen328 (talk) 00:23, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

I can believe that. Fair enough Jackbadcock (talk) 00:27, 10 February 2022 (UTC)


 * If you decided to use a new account instead, then this unblock request should be withdrawn. If this is not you, then please do have a look at the policy on sockpuppetry, specifically WP:MEAT. Thanks! – NJD-DE (talk) 00:45, 10 February 2022 (UTC)


 * I believe this is legitimate. There is also a deceased cricketer with this name. 331dot (talk) 00:46, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry, the spacing above confused me. 331dot (talk) 00:47, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. Yes I've just created the Jacqueshappy username instead. Forgive me but how do I withdraw this block request? Jacqueshappy (talk) 00:48, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
 * , the matter is resolved, and there is no reason to withdraw your unblock request. You have a new account. If you want to attempt to draft an article about your band, please read Your first article, use the Articles for Creation process, and rely solely on what published independent reliable sources say about the band, and include nothing based only on your personal knowledge.

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because the username, Jackbadcock, matches the name of a well-known, living person.

If you are the person represented by this username, please note that the practice of blocking such usernames is to protect you from being impersonated, not to discourage you from editing Wikipedia. You may choose to edit under a new username (see information below), but keep in mind that you are welcome to continue to edit under this username.

If you choose to keep your current username, please send an email to info-enwikimedia.org including your real name and your Wikipedia username to receive instructions from our volunteer response team about account verification. Please do not send documentation without being requested to do so.

If you are not the person represented by this username, you are welcome to choose a new username (see below).

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our username policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you wish for your existing contributions to carry over under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding below. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" from their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a change of name request.
 * Your requested new username cannot already be in use. Therefore, please check the list here to see if a name is taken prior to requesting a change of name.

Appeals: If, after reading the guide to appealing blocks you believe you were blocked in error, then you may appeal this block by adding below this notice. Cullen328 (talk) 00:18, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
