User talk:NotIanmacm

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, NotIanmacm, may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it appears to refer directly to another user.. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may file for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Thank you. -- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 10:04, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Indeed, you are not Ianmacm. Amusing stunt for a username, but further evidence of WP:SOCK in this article. One user, one account, please.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 09:19, 16 September 2010 (UTC)


 * This username is unacceptable since it is clearly an attempt to troll me.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 09:23, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

so am i supposed to create another account with another user name? That will be WP:SOCK. What should I do now?


 * Ever since YouTube Instant was created, there have been suspicions of sockpuppeteering. This has been hyped beyond realistic limits for a tech blog story. It is interesting, but not everything in the news needs to have a full Wikipedia article. I would advise against using the Notianmacm username, since it is a thinly disguised attempt at trolling another user. Ask someone at the WP:HELPDESK about getting a new username.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 09:33, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Sorry I didn't know. ~ ~ ~ ~

Your account has been blocked indefinitely because its username is a blatant violation of our username policy – it is obviously 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 trolling or other disruptive behavior is not tolerated. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.
