[edit]
Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because your username, General Arse Biscuits, 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:
  1. 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.
  2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a change of name request.
  3. 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,. Red Phoenix talk 02:28, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]


This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

As a global renamer, I would ask that you just create a new account. 331dot (talk) 20:58, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I set the block settings to allow you to simply create a new account - my advice would be to do that, since you don't have a contribution history worth carrying over. Otherwise, it's doable to have your account renamed, but we'll have to get a global renamer involved (another group that's not administrators) and that can take time. If the latter is what you prefer, let me know, but I'd suggest, and actually encourage you, simply to create a new account if you can. Red Phoenix talk 14:25, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
