User talk:DickSwettDickButkusDickTrickle

February 2021

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because your username, DickSwettDickButkusDickTrickle, does not meet our username policy. Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have selected a new username that meets the username policy guidelines, which are summarized below.

Per the username policy, a username should represent an individual and should not: represent a group or organization; be promotional; be misleading (such as indicating possession of special user rights or being a "Bot" account (unless approved for such purposes)); be offensive or otherwise disruptive. However, a username that contains the name of a organization and also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87" is allowed, though, among others, the guidance on conflict of interest and the policy of paid-contribution disclosure are relevant.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our username policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you wish for your existing contributions to carry over under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" from their talk page.
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.

Appeals: If, after reading the guide to appealing blocks you believe you were blocked in error, then you may appeal this block by adding {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this notice. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 04:54, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I read the username policy and I don't see what I did wrong. The administrator who blocked me doesn't explain why either. Thank you.

Accept reason:

I'm going to assume at this time that your name doesn't mean to reference what Oshwah thought it referenced, and I will remove the block. 331dot (talk) 10:14, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oshwah Is this block due to the use of Dick Butkus' name? The other two names are both of deceased people. 331dot (talk) 10:05, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

331dot - Looking at the username, "Dick Swett" is a living politician, but combined with "Dick Trickle" and "Dick Butkus", I thought the name to be a violation of UPOL due to its sexual nature. If you feel differently, please feel free to accept the request and unblock the user. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 10:08, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oshwah Oops, sorry. I think the pages blended together in my eyes for a minute. Only Trickle is deceased. I'll give them a shot since they haven't edited yet. 331dot (talk) 10:12, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

331dot - Sounds good! :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 10:13, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
