User talk:Phillip trueman

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, Phillip trueman, 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).''' Your username appeared to impersonate another user. 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. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:04, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

You are very welcome to change to a more acceptable username and continue editing. If you would like to do so please follow the instructions in the above notice, and say what new name you would like to use. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:05, 28 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Just to add my own comment here. I think it's regrettable that you ended up getting blocked so quickly.  I am sure that, as you tried to say, you are sorry for your disruptive edit to Coral reef.  The right way to talk to me was to start a new section at User talk:Philip Trueman, not to do it in the article.  Quite separately, creating a new user account with a name similar to an existing account is frowned upon here, and I think you'll be able to see why.  If you haven't been put off contributing to Wikipedia, and I hope you haven't, please do as suggested above and ask for a name change, and read up on a few basic policies (see WP:PILLARS) before editing again.  Best wishes. Philip Trueman (talk) 12:00, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
