Every contributor here is expected to treat other contributors politely.
The Wiki-ID you just created is problematic. It implies you may not behave politely, because:
- It is a misleading name, very similar to a previous name.
- Don't pick a new name very similar to one of your previous names! If your previous ID was blocked, you can still edit your
User talk: page. Explain there why you think your previous name should be unblocked. If an administrator thinks you are trying to evade your block they won't hesitate to block the new similar ID
- Don't pick a new name very similar to one of your previous names because you forgot your password. Create a new ID that is dissimilar to your previous ID, that no one suspects bad faith. Explicitly state your previous history on your new
User: page, explicitly stating your previous ID, so no one suspects bad faith.
- Don't pick an ID similar to the previous or existing name of your frenemy, or actual enemy. Doing so implies you are trying to confuse people.
- Don't create a Wiki-ID similar to a famous person. Don't create a Wiki-ID like
User:Jimbo Wales, which I recently blocked.
- Don't create Wiki-IDs that are likely to be read as offensive. No swear words.
- Also, avoid Wiki-IDs like
User:Promoting ABC Company, it implies you plan to SPAM. Wikialpha rules allow an article on ABC Company, but it has to be an actual article, something recognizably like an attempt at something like a wikipedia article. It can't look like a press release from ABC Company. It can't be a simple list of unrelated facts about ABC Company.
This should all be common sense.
If your current Wiki-ID was blocked, due to a bad-name, do not try to evade the block. Ping the administrator who blocked you, on your User talk: page.
