From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia with this username. This is because your username, DK Whitey, contains the word "whitey", an ethnic slur. 

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

  1. 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.
  2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
  3. 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.
If you think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

Request reason:

For crying out loud that is my name, you are being way to sensitive to names that might have derogatory meaning to some but is really not

Accept reason:

Thanks for letting me know: I've unblocked you. Please accept my apologies -- we have to deal with many, many problematic names a day, and although we try our best to avoid false positives, sometimes we (and in this case, I) make mistakes. The Anome (talk) 19:36, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
