User talk:Stop China Now
Welcome
I was wondering why I hadn't seen 76.x around ITNC. But now I see you've made an account so welcome. Hot Stop

- My name is an verb, a noun and an adverb, nothing more. What disruptive behaviour have I committed? --Stop China Now (talk) 11:58, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
- Your argument that words have no meaning is disruptive by itself. talk) 19:20, 30 December 2011 (UTC)]
- I don't understand who you are or why you've left these comments. What disruption have I caused? No one (other than you) has left such comments on my talk page. Your talk page, on the other hand, is littered with them. I will not engage in a soapbox debate with you. Please leave me alone. --Stop China Now (talk) 23:18, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).
A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.
You are encouraged to
- Adding
{{unblock-un|your new username here}}on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page. - At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
- Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.

Request reason:
My name is not disruptive or offensive. I've not committed any disruptive behaviour. I've made good faith contributions to ITN/C. The only explanation I got was the ravings of a user who has been warned 3 times on their user page about being disruptive. What have I done to deserve this? Nothing.
Decline reason:
Two things; 1. you did not suggest a new username so this would have to be declined procedurally and 2. please read
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
- If you care to read the block notice, you will see that it says in big bold letters that your username is the only reason fo this block. Wikipedia works only when users co-operate with one another. A username that insults an entire nation is in opposition to that goal as it makes a polemic statement every single time you edit or sign your name to a comment. Your actual edits or the identity of the person who tried to discuss this with you are not relevant, you can't have a name like that. period. talk) 00:33, 31 December 2011 (UTC)]
- So many words. In response to number 1 in the reply, "so this would have to be declined procedurally" is predicated on the notion that my username is in fact not acceptable. Why would I suggest a new one if I saw nothing wrong with the old one? Either way, this just re-affirmed my belief in the absurdity of this blog, and SCN will rest in the dustbin of abandoned accounts along with my previous one. Frankly I find "The Blade of the Northern Lights" to be deeply offensive since it associates an act of destructive violence with the natural wonder of the aurora borealis. Then, I have better things to do then run around pasting gigantic fucking templates on peoples userpages. Once again, goodbye. --Stop China Now (talk) 02:56, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
- The message you received clearly indicated that you were blocked due to your username (the reason it is problematic is elucidated above); the unblock request didn't address that issue. If you would like to, it would be easy enough to simply create a new account without the username problem. Furthermore, Beeblebrox and I are two of the thickest skinned admins you're likely to find, but I can assure you that using profanity won't get you very far. Finally (not that it'll make much of a difference, but so you know), my username is basically a portmanteau of a couple of my interests; history (which given my specialty, the Ainu people, involved a great deal of swordsmanship, hence The Blade) and Arctic geography (Northern Lights). Given my proclivity for walking alone (as Ainu warriors were expected to do at a certain stage of their training) on extremely cold nights (though I live in Connecticut, much too far south to see aura borealis), it suits me quite well. But to reiterate; we are not saying that you can't edit here, we are merely saying that you need to choose a username that is not so polemical.

- And mine is a portmanteau of my interests: Stop (I do this at every red light), China (I prefer it to paper plates) Now (The moment I want to live in). Thanks for your reply. You can mark this account as abandoned. --Stop China Now (talk) 11:39, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
