User talk:Ok224

Your username
Your username is unacceptable, because it contains characters which are likely to cause confusion distraction, and difficulties for editors. For example, ordinary editors, including you, will not be able to edit this talk page. (I am able to do so because I am an administrator.) Therefore don't continue to edit using your current username. JBW (talk) 15:25, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

Apparently I was wrong in thinking that you would be unable to edit this page; perhaps an account is exempt from restriction on editing its own talk page. However, please note the following two points:
 * 1) Don't change other editors' talk page posts, even to correct evident mistakes, let alone to make other changes, making it appear that another editor said something which they didn't say.
 * 2) Your user name violates Wikipedia's username policy. You have been told not to edit with that username, but you have not complied with that instruction. If you edit with this username again you are likely to be blocked from editing. JBW (talk) 15:47, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

When I created this page I was confronted by a prominent red notice which said "This page can only be created and/or edited by administrators, template editors, and page movers because it matches an entry on the local or global title blacklist". It is now evident that is not true, at least as far as editing is concerned, as opposed to creating the page. However, that detail doesn't detract from the overall point.

Since there is no legitimate reason for you to ever edit using this account, and since its username appearing in editing histories and other places is likely to cause problems, I shall block the account and rename it to "Ok224". JBW (talk) 20:06, 20 October 2021 (UTC) ok -ok224
