User talk:Official mariogotze

Are you, in fact, Mario Götze? If so please let me (via the "email this user" link on the left of my user page) or the Foundation know so we can verify this. If not, if you are someone acting on his behalf, please cease and desist from further editing save a request to change your name as it is a violation of our username policy for someone other than a notable living person to use that person's name. If no action is taken within a day or so the account will be blocked indefinitely to prevent its use as a potential impersonator. Daniel Case (talk) 00:04, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

Sorry (but if you really are him, it'll be a while before you can edit Wikipedia again anyway).

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because the username, Official mariogotze, 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 are welcome to continue to edit under this username, but we ask the following:
 * Please be willing and able to prove your identity to Wikipedia.
 * Please send an e-mail to info-en[[Image:At sign.svg|15px|@]]wikimedia.org. Be aware that the volunteer response team that handles e-mail is indeed operated entirely by volunteers, and the reply may not be immediate.

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 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 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.
