Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because your username, TiddiesTiddiesTiddies, does not comply with Wikipedia's username policy. 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.
Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change to this account.
  • 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 of this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your user talk page (this page): {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.


Important items to note:

  • The new username that you choose must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.
  • The new username you choose cannot already be taken and used by another account. You can search here to see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns, "There is no global account for [username]", that means it is available.

Appeals: If your username is not in violation of Wikipedia's username policy, 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 user talk page (this page): {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Thank you. Mz7 (talk) 23:26, 7 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

to continue using account after block from username policy violation

Decline reason:

That choice is too similar to a couple of existing usernames. Please choose something else. 331dot (talk) 13:06, 15 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
How dissimilar does it need to be? I used to the tool to look up whether it was taken or not and it showed as it not being taken TiddiesTiddiesTiddies (talk) 16:18, 15 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'm not sure if I replied to you properly or not because it appeared outside the colored box so I'm copying and pasting my question again here:
"How dissimilar does it need to be? I used to the tool to look up whether it was taken or not and it showed as it not being taken"
Basically what do I need to look out for in terms of similarity? I may have misread the username guide thing but I thought it just couldn't be duplicates. TiddiesTiddiesTiddies (talk) 13:21, 19 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Sorry, I wasn't following this page. It needs to be dissimilar enough to not be prevented from creation. 331dot (talk) 20:10, 23 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Requested username:

Request reason:

to continue using account after block from username policy violation --- PLEASE NOTE: Yes I've requested this already. It was denied by 331dot however from reading the username policy I could not understand what they were talking about and got no answer after repeated requests for clarification. It's fine if I can't use this name, but I'd like to get some guidance on how similar/dissimilar a new username can be to someone else's username or at least the usernames that it conflicts with. Thanks!

Decline reason:

Knock it off. Pick a new username or stay blocked. Your choice, but stop wasting our time. Yamla (talk) 21:47, 24 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'm not trying to waste anyone's time; I'm trying to get some clarification. Can you or someone else please respond to where I said "It's fine if I can't use this name, but I'd like to get some guidance on how similar/dissimilar a new username can be to someone else's username or at least the usernames that it conflicts with. Thanks!" @Yamla:
I don't understand how asking for clarification on something I can't find in the policy doc is wasting anyone's time and it is certainly not my intention to waste anyone's time. TiddiesTiddiesTiddies (talk) 18:49, 28 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
The usernames "Henry Bemis" and "Henry bemis" already exist, which as a technical matter prevents me from renaming your account to "HenryBemis". Close variations are not permitted to prevent confusion and also deliberate impersonation.
Names that read as "TittiesTittiesTitties" don't help us recruit and retain female editors; this is why you were blocked. 331dot (talk) 09:29, 29 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
