Renamed and unblocked. Just Chilling (talk) 22:29, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Just Chilling: Thank you. --Wild typist (talk) 23:07, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@L3X1: I was unable to reply until now as I was completely blocked, even from my own talk page. I chose my original user name completely randomly (using a random word generator) and had no idea that it would be controversial. I wish @Oshwah: had seen fit to ask me about it or at least give me the opportunity to communicate with him to clarify any concerns, as it was quite the hassle figuring how the UTRS system. In any case, what's done is done and I'm happy to have it behind me. --Wild typist (talk) 23:07, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wild typist - Allow me to apologize and explain what happened. Your username happened to resemble similar usernames that have been created by long-term abusers of the project in order to vandalize and troll Wikipedia. I thought that your username was one of them, and I mistakenly blocked you on that basis. I'm sorry. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 23:51, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Oshwah: I can't imagine how much griefing and trolling Wikipedia must attract - I'm sure it must be a monumental task to keep it under control, and accidents happen. Thank you for the explanation (and apology accepted). --Wild typist (talk) 23:59, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wild typist - I appreciate that you understand how big of a task it is to be dedicated to keeping Wikipedia clean of trolling and vandalism. It is a big task, and apart of controlling it is to predict problematic accounts that blatantly signal that they're going to cause disruption, and address the problem before it occurs. The block I placed on your account was an unfortunate false positive and consequence of my attempts to do so, and I apologize for that. If you need any help with Wikipedia, and understanding it's culture and policies - please do not hesitate to message me on my talk page here. I'll be happy to assist you with anything you need. Thanks again for understanding. I very much appreciate it. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 00:12, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

( edit conflict )I too must apologise for my behavior of jumping to biased conclusions. d.g. L3X1 (distant write) 00:00, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
