Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia with this username. This is because your username, Littlebuggers, does not meet our username policy.

Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below) and continue editing.

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 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:

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.

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.

Sorry to interrupt, but @The Anome: how exactly is "Littlebuggers" an inappropriate username? —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 21:31, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's the use of "buggers" as a pejorative. See buggery. In British English usage, this has a history of being used as a quite mild expletive, which is no doubt what was intended here; but alas it still also retains its original meaning as a homophobic insult. -- The Anome (talk) 08:39, 16 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good. I've renamed the user. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 11:08, 16 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
