User talk:TheRedderPenOfDoom
The name TheRedPenOfDoom was already taken, so I must perforce add to the moniker.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name which does meet our guidelines and are invited to contribute to Wikipedia under that new username. Or, if you feel this block was made in error, you may quickly and easily appeal it - see below.
Our username policy provides guidance on selecting your new username. In brief, usernames should not be misleading, offensive, disruptive, or promotional.
If you wish to keep this account under a new name you may request a change in username. To do so, please follow these directions:
- Add {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. This is possible because even when you are blocked, you can still edit your own talk page.
- At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
- Please note, you may only request a name that is not already in use. The account is created upon acceptance – do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change since we can far easier allocate your new name to you, if it is not yet used. Usernames that have already been taken are listed here. For more information, please visit Wikipedia:Changing username.
- In the alternative, you can "abandon" the contributions under this username and create a new account, which is much faster and easier.
