Username
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, Number10gov, may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because groups and organisations are not allowed to have their own usernames. Usernames are meant to represent an individual, not a group (see WP:ORGNAME). 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. Road Wizard (talk) 09:47, 11 May 2010 (UTC) Thanks for letting me know - I'll change my username. --Number10gov (talk) 15:10, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Spelling
Hello, welcome to Wikipedia. Sadly I imagine you may soon be getting your username killed off, unless it's not how it looks. Given, though, that it seems you have publicly outed yourself, then if you are who you sound like can I just ask how you're doing with the project of making sure that Clement Attlee's name is spelt correctly everywhere it appears on the No 10 website? I don't mean to be rude or aggressive about this, nor to be horrid to a new user, but I hope you might agree that it's quite important that the 10 Downing St website does get this correct, always? If you had "Chruchhill" for example I can't imagine anyone would be happy so it's hard to see why "Atlee" is any more acceptable, what with him having been a PM and so on and so forth. To give credit, this has improved, and at least the abomination "Altee" is no longer visible on the site. However, totally correct spelling seems to still be a few edits away - do you think it will ever be accomplished? Sorry to bug you with this bee from my bonnet but it would be lovely to think that the site had a commitment to get this right. Thanks and best wishes, DBaK (talk) 12:09, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, Number10gov, does not meet our username policy. '''Your username is the only reason for this block. 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 policy guidelines. 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 feel 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. -- Cirt (talk) 05:04, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
