Hello
This account was supposed to be a play on User:SineBot and User:CosineBot. It was inspired by User:Ritchie333/Requests for adminship/SineBot. I was in the middle of creating the account's userpage. I created it in the understanding that it would be allowed due to WP:SOCKLEGIT under "Humor accounts". Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me &#124; my contributions 19:01, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Do you think that this username is "obviously humorous" or would you like me to request it be renamed to something else? Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me &#124; my contributions 19:03, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I know that this is technically a UPOL violation, as it has the word "Bot" in the username, but thought the idea that it was supposed to be humorous would be OK in this situation. If it is not, I am happy for the username to be changed or if you think it should remain to be banned, then so be it. The joke I had in my head is becoming less and less funny....

 * (ec) I don't see the username itself as humorous. I would also note that WP:VALIDALT states "The community has accepted some obviously humorous alternate accounts"(my emphasis); even if there is a rename that is no guarantee this will be unblocked.  Maybe, maybe not- that will be up to the next reviewer. 331dot (talk) 19:08, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
 * , OK that makes sense. Sorry for any untended annoyance. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me &#124; my contributions 19:10, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

Unblock request with username change
I have seen that I have made a mistake in assuming that this account would be an acceptable "Humorous account", so I am requesting that this account be converted into my "Public" account and also unblocked. I am sorry for being an idiot and thinking that this would be acceptable. Please take this as my apology and understanding that I have misread what was meant in WP:VALIDALT.

 * I'm the blocking admin so I'm not going to decline this request but I would like to point out that I set the block not to prohibit account creation or block IP addresses. You are welcome to simply create another account that complies with WP:UN and WP:VALIDALT. You just need to log out of this account before you try to create another.  --Chris (talk) 21:22, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
 * , Ok. Just going to leave as is. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me &#124; my contributions 17:29, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
