Request reason:

I don't understand why I was blocked. I tried without success to understand the reason provided "attempting to impersonate a Wikipedia administrator". I am willing to understand what I did wrong and avoid repeating my errors.

Accept reason:

Unblocked, as per below. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:35, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Bishonen, given that this account was created a while ago and that the name is a fictional character, I think this might actually just be an accident. Beeblebrox-001: Beeblebrox is a Wikipedia administrator and functionary, which is why Bishonen blocked you. It would probably be best for you to request a change of username (you can do that here and I will ping a global renamer). Bish, are there other reasons for this block other than the name that I'm missing? TonyBallioni (talk) 22:35, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm watching, and I can do the rename when the request is made (though it's almost bedtime where I am, so it wouldn't be until tomorrow). Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 22:49, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oh god, and I've actually read The Hitchhiker's Guide. Sorry. I'd be fine with a rename, Tony. Bishonen | talk 00:00, 13 November 2017 (UTC).[reply]

I see. It really wasn't my intention to impersonate an administrator, I just like The Hitchhiker's Guide. and I choose a variant of the username I was using on other websites . How can I check usernames availability in order to change mine?
You can use Special:CentralAuth to check. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:43, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Can I have my name changed to Magom1l? I see you are in the global renames group, Boing! said Zebedee, so I guess I must ask you for the rename.
That's all done and your account is now unblocked, welcome back - and feel free to remove the above messages. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:35, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
