Wikipedia:Request an account
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Because of users automatically creating accounts for vandalism, Wikipedia has been forced to prevent usernames being created that are too similar to existing usernames and to add an image (called a captcha) to the login process to confirm that users are not using an automated process. If you have attempted to create an account, but have chosen a username that is too similar to an existing username, or have been unable to read the image because you are using a screen reader, or a browser that does not support images, please post your request for an account here. Follow the instructions below:
Instructions:
- Click this link.
- Follow the instructions in the text box, and type the username that you wish to register, and an e-mail address to send your password to. You may wish to use a disposable e-mail address, as it will be made public for up to a few weeks after your request is made. Do not enter the password that you'd like to use- you will receive a password via e-mail, which you can later change. If the username you request is already taken, we will also notify you by e-mail.
- You should receive a password via e-mail within no more than 48 hours.
Administrators: Instructions on how to create an account can be found here.

[edit] MrLinux
I -may- have already registered this name. However, if so, it may have been a couple of email addresses ago, so simply requesting the password isn't likely to be of much use.
