Rollback

I have granted the "rollbacker" permission to your account. After a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, contact me and I will remove it. Good luck and thanks. – Gilliam (talk) 19:25, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

A message from El cid, el campeador

Every time I see you in my watchlist I have to laugh. Great username, even if you have gotten a bit of flak, I'm behind you ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡o) ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ^ᐐT₳LKᐬ 14:06, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

Thanks bro! Here's hoping this RFC wraps up soon. ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡o) / wink-182 14:08, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia with this username. This is because your username, ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡o), has been disallowed per the results at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User names#.28_.CD.A1.7E_.CD.9C.CA.96_.CD.A1o.29. 

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 "Email 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 the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} on your user talk page, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Katie^talk 17:35, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Requested username:

TimeShallUnfoldWhatPlightedCunningHidesWhoCoverFaultsAtLastShameThemDerides (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

Well consensus is consensus, even if I disagree with it. This is a King Lear quote that I quite like that I think follows all of the rules in our username policy, plus addresses the complaint from the RFC (only Latin characters). Alternatively the username Anne drew Andrew and Drew would be acceptable.

Decline reason:

While there is no hard and fast rule that specifies the maximum length of a username, WP:Username policy does say "These lists are not necessarily exhaustive. Use common sense in applying these rules..." and very long names have traditionally been regarded as disruptive. In this case, that excessively long name looks like you are trolling us to try to push the boundaries. If you wish to work here in a collegial fashion and enable easy discussion, please choose a username that facilitates that. (If you want "Anne drew Andrew and Drew" then please make a new request for it and someone else will review it - to me it sounds like you're deliberately pushing the boundaries again with a name that sounds like it could represent more than one person depending on how it is parsed - but I'll leave someone else to review that).

Request reason:

I just like word avalanches & word play.

Accept reason:

Renamed to requested username.—CYBERPOWER (Around) 19:32, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

I've reinstated your declined unblock request, as you should not remove those while still blocked as the next reviewing adming will want to see them. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 19:01, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for the heads up! ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡o) / wink-182 19:03, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Are you sure this is the username you want? If yes, I will rename you to that name. I expected you'd want to be renamed to "Wink-182" so you can keep your winking signature.—CYBERPOWER (Around) 19:23, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Hey ​Cyber, the wink-182 thing was just a pun based on my current winking username & the band blink-182. Yeah "Anne drew Andrew and Drew" is the username I want. Cheers, ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡o) / wink-182 19:29, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Apology

Hi, I wanted to apologise -
As noted at the RFC it is meant to be discussed first however this was one of those cases where I honestly had no idea whether it was acceptable or not and I didn't want to sit here for a week telling you "You can't have this name you need to change it" only to go to RFC and find out you can have it (It's happened before) so to save both our times being wasted (and to save me looking like a right clown) I figured it was more beneficial to just head to WP:RFCN where it can be discussed,
Unfortunately I didn't realise a block would've happened otherwise I would've courtesy pinged you (or left a message),
Just to reiterate this wasn't some sort of back-door attempt at having you blocked nothing like that - I simply was clueless and wanted clarification that's it but anyway I wanted to apologise if it came across the wrong way,
I hope you do come back but if not I wish you all the best,
Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 18:38, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Hey Davey, no sweat, things happen. Hopefully I'll be unblocked and back to editing soon. Best, ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡o) / wink-182 18:59, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Username

My compliments on the choice of username. I'm too much of a fan of wordplay not to say something. —C.Fred (talk) 21:01, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, C.Fred 🙂 - Anne drew Andrew and Drew 21:27, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Maintenance template

Before you remove a {{use mdy dates}} from an article, as you did from the Stuart McLean article, you should know what it is you're removing. Also, explaining your edits using an edit summary would go a long way to cooperative editing. Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:33, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

I used an edit summary. Anne drew Andrew and Drew 02:20, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

Pending changes reviewer granted

Hello. Your account has been granted the "pending changes reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on pages protected by pending changes. The list of articles awaiting review is located at Special:PendingChanges, while the list of articles that have pending changes protection turned on is located at Special:StablePages.

Being granted reviewer rights neither grants you status nor changes how you can edit articles. If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

Alt account?

Is this a WP:Alternative account? Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 20:53, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

Hey Flyer22. No, it's not. AdA&D 20:56, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

Well, your contribution history clearly indicates that you are not new. So whatever. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 21:29, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

Ah, well, I've been here for a few weeks now. I'll take that as a complement. Best, AdA&D 21:36, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

Regarding this, I would if I didn't know better. When I speak of your contribution history, I am including your very early edits in that as well. This conversation goes the same almost every time I have it with a "new" editor. Feel free to remove this section from your talk page. I'm done commenting about this here. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 21:42, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

​Okay boss, I can't stop you from assuming bad faith, but you really shouldn't be going around accusing people of things just because they disagree with you on something. I think I'm done here too, please avoid my talk page in the future. AdA&D 21:55, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
