We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia, but users are not allowed to edit with inappropriate usernames and we do not tolerate 'bad faith' editing such as
trolling or other disruptive behavior. If you think there are good reasons why these don't describe your account, or why you should be unblocked, you are welcome to
appeal this block – read our
guide to appealing blocks to understand more about unblock requests, and then add the text {{

your user talk page.

Gee, thanks for the warm welcome. Not a shared account. Collective contributions, i.e. this is where I'll gather my collective contributions, the name being a creative play on my initials (CC), or Context Counts. I tried several other C words first that were all in use. From the noticeboard:
- "This page is for usernames that are such blatant and serious problems that they need to be immediately blocked. Please discuss less-serious violations with the user so that they can rename or abandon their account in good faith."
So how do I rename the account? Collective Contributions ( talk) 03:22, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
- It sounds like a shared username, and a BOT actually reported as well. That's all. See Changing a username to a different username. To make a request, go to Wikipedia:Changing username Bohbye ( talk) 03:27, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
Wikipedia: Changing a username
Alternatives to consider before requesting a new username: "Users who have made very few edits are encouraged to register a new account and discard the old one. You can even copy your old watchlist to your new account. See Wikipedia:Clean start for additional rules and details."
Sounds easy enough, then. – Collective Contributions ( talk) 03:52, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
- I genuinely do hope that you find a new name that pleases you, and return to add your contributions as a welcome individual editor. -- Orange Mike | Talk 04:44, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
