To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must: Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Kinu t/c 06:49, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

 * I am confused.
 * Radianation has been my username for many years. I was playing with the sandbox to understand the editing functionality of wikipedia. Why is my sandbox post being used to discriminate against me? This doesn't make sense. Radianation (talk) 16:52, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

 * In all fairness, you had zero edits in the 14+ years since registering this account, and subsequently your only edit was to create a presumably autobiographical article with a slew of links to social media. Any unblock request would need to discuss this. See WP:AUTO, WP:NOTPROMO, and WP:WEBHOST. -- Kinu t/c 18:17, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

 * My understanding of a sandbox is that it's safe/private environment to test the functionality of the editor. I was preparing to edit another topic and it was suggested that I edit via sandbox first. One of the things I did to understand that was provide bulleted lists, headings, and (yes) links.
 * I understand that it is necessary to keep wikipedia free from spam and I don't fault you for the steps you have taken here, but I can assure you my intention is not to violate the rules or contribute to the clutter.
 * I don't care what my username is on Wikipedia, but I do care about my ability to contribute. I've regularly donated and used wikipedia for (as you said, 14+ years), but I was hoping to step up and start authoriing more. I am a published historian with a BA in History from Indiana University. I had hoped to put that to use. Cheers. Radianation (talk) 19:29, 18 April 2023 (UTC)


 * What say you? And I guess it's stipulated user won't edit about their band or within any other WP:conflict of interest.-- Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:49, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
 * This seems like a reasonable request. I have no objection to an unblock with the noted stipulation. -- Kinu t/c 20:40, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Also, renaming. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 22:25, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
 * globally renamed Radianation to Simplerad -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 22:26, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
