User talk:Stupiddle

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, Stupiddle, is a combination of the words "stupid" and "piddle". 

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. 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 feel 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:

misinterpretation of the word piddle: it has two meanings and the more offensive, secondary use was taken, rather than the primary definition, which is "to dawdle"

Decline reason:

taking this off hold and making a procedural decline, it appears you have moved on as you have not responded to the comments below. You may post a new unblock request if you wish to discuss this further. Beeblebrox (talk) 16:30, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

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.

Are you sure the issue is not the word "stupid" in lieu of "piddle"? (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 19:16, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

In my opinion, it's the combination of the two: the context of the contraction of the words "stupid" and "piddle" would tend to make readers assume -- as I did -- that the informal meaning of "urinate" is what's meant here. The user's intention isn't the issue: it's what the reader may take it for. Is the user really so invested in this name that they don't want to change it? -- The Anome (talk) 20:16, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
