Happy editing! Someone who&#39;s wrong on the internet (talk) 07:47, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Your account has been blocked from editing because your username gives the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website. '''Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy, which is summarized here.'''

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable, regardless of the username that you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid or compensated in any way, you must disclose who is paying you to edit here. Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change of your current account here. The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.
 * To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then click here to make a new one.
 * If you prefer to change the username on this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page (this page):.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken or in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Appeals: If your username does not represent a group, organization, website, or other entity described above, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:.

To admin
I was unaware that name was also used by a business. In maryland. My apologies. I'd never heard of it. Tao.contracting.229 (talk) 21:32, 3 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Not sure oracle 1995 is suitable. Oracle is the name of a company that changed it's name in 1995. Might I suggest choosing a user name that is not also the name of a company or offensive for religious reasons? Something  individual.  Best. &#45;-  Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:23, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The pattern random adverb + random adjective + random noun might be a useful tool. &#45;- Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:24, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Looks like you are mocking me. You are inches from losing talk page access. Each of your user name choices has seemed more trollish than the last. This latest attack user name is beyond the Pale. I will have nothing further to do with attempting to help you. Good day. &#45;- Deepfriedokra (talk) 02:04, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I apologize for mocking you. It was mediocre of me and it was kind of you to take the time to help me as an administrator. All time given in that position is charitable and unpaid, I respect you and anyone who has aided in building this site. I had hoped it would be perceived as humorous and within the allowable range of expression afforded to me in my naming process. I recognize now it was just antagonistic. I apologize for taking your time.
 * "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery mediocrity can pay to greatness." Tao.contracting.229 (talk) 03:14, 3 March 2024 (UTC)


 * I failed to recognize how my choice of username deepfriedpedantry was a violation of policy. Reading the username policy I now see anything that can be considered an attack is strictly forbidden. At the time I searched active usernames and saw there were, and are, many other users using a name including "oracle". I felt to forbade my use of it, with my birthyear listed after, was unjustified . I wrongly thought I could express my view at the time that the ban was undue, while not being in violation of policy or angering the community.
 * I genuinely meant it in playful jest at the time of typing and should have realized how antagonistic the statement was and not done anything to add to the workload of the administrators who were taking the time to help me restore my account. I do not say any of this to excuse or defend what I did. But to genuinely convey my mistake and why I made it. I failed recognize the line between being antagonistic and reasonable conjecture. I am sorry. I have always intended to contribute here and not clog the processes. I took the ban too personally and acted inappropriately. I will not repeat the mistake.

I've changed this block to prevent you from editing until this is resolved. This isn't a matter of pedantry, there are policies to observe here if you want to participate; Deepfriedokra was trying to help you do so, and you threw it back in his face. Please edit your existing request to make a better choice of new username(don't make a new, additional request). If you don't make a proper choice, your talk page access will be removed next. 331dot (talk) 09:18, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

I hope I am doing this correctly, it was not my intent to double post. I wrongly thought I was supposed to enter a new request if the prior was denied. On this attempt I did not type a new unblock prompt in, I just edited the current pending unblock dialogue box. By deleting my prior request and replacing it with the appropriate requested username "dvrh4m". I sincerely hope this is the correct procedure, I am doing my best to edit my existing request and not duplicate. Thank you all for your patience in this and not banning me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tao.contracting.229 (talk • contribs)
 * You need to make a new unblock request for someone else to review. 331dot (talk) 08:16, 3 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Is it possible that I will just be left blocked indefinitely? Or is there a typical timeframe one should expect to be blocked for creating a problematic username?
 * Can one sporadically beg on their own talk page in a tasteful manner? Tao.contracting.229 (talk) 15:26, 11 April 2024 (UTC)


 * From Wikipedia's Policy on Blocking page.-
 * "The purpose of blocking is prevention, not punishment. The duration of blocks should thus be related to the likelihood of a user repeating inappropriate behavior. Longer blocks for repeated and high levels of disruption are to reduce administrative burden; they are made under the presumption that such users are likely to cause frequent disruption or harm in future. Administrators should consider:
 * the severity of the behavior;
 * whether the user has engaged in that behavior before."
 * I have met every condition asked of me. I was blocked for using my email as a username as I have done for every other account service for nearly a decade.
 * I was relatively new, and did not understand why my email of tao.contracting.229 resulted in me being banned.
 * I now understand, by viewing a moderators edit history, the huge prevalence of people trying to promote their businesses and use wikipedia for free advertising . But initially I thought being blocked, with no warning,was unwarranted as I clearly am trying to contribute.
 * I had this username on countless other sites.
 * When an admin rejected the name "oracle1995" ( my proposed new name) because there is a company called oracle, I was confused.
 * When I searched the username list and saw many other people with "oracle" in their names I felt like I was being bullied.
 * so I made the username deepfriedpedantry.
 * I understand now that this is considered confrontational. That you cannot say someone is pedantic.
 * At the time I genuinely thought it was within my allowed parameters of free expression. To make a username implying someone had been pedantic. Clearly in jest. I did not want to offend.
 * To ban me for this length of time seems like the administrators are biting the newcomers. I've apologized many times.
 * I have no history of breaking any rules.
 * Bans are not supposed to be punitive. It says that more than once on the policy page.
 * Why would you continue to block me. I am clearly not, and never have been a threat to wikipedia. I've waited politely for half a year. Tao.contracting.229 (talk) 01:06, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Is there a way for me to request a username change to someone else? I have waited months, and asked politely if there is a time frame. No one is responding. I fulfilled all the requests made of me, have never partaken in any type of spam, vandalism, or self promotion. My edit history shows me earnestly trying to contribute throughout my time on wikipedia. The administrators responded very quickly to block me but no one will even take 10 seconds to explain if this said block is to be indefinite, or update it to a given timeframe. People engaging in blatant vandalism or paid editing are afforded three warnings,  am I really just permanently blocked for making the wrong username? Is three months not sufficient? I just want to continue contributing, Is there a way I can appeal to at least have a finite time frame? Tao.contracting.229 (talk) 02:17, 21 April 2024 (UTC).
 * Only one open request is needed at a time, adding additional requests does not speed up the process. Admins are volunteers, doing what they can, when they can, and understandably not all admins want to wade into a contentious area like this.  Please be patient.
 * There is no requirement for a certain number of warnings, or any warnings at all. 331dot (talk) 08:53, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
