Thanks for your edit; you're right, of course, it was England, not the United Kingdom. However, I've had to block your account for the reasons given below:

 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a change of name request.
 * Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use. Therefore, please check the list here to see if a name is taken prior to requesting a change of name.

I look forward to seeing further contributions from you under your new username. -- The Anome (talk) 08:55, 7 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi, Merkie1983. I'm prepared to grant your request, but you should know that there is a fairly prolific vandal who often uses "MerkIe" (with a capital i) in their usernames. There is no policy against having a username similar to a vandal's, but I thought I'd let you know about this, in case you'd rather use some other name. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 16:44, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
