Ironic, I know, but it will give you something to do while waiting.

[edit] Username block
Your username has been blocked indefinitely because it may be rude or inflammatory, unnecessarily long/confusing, too similar to an existing user, contains the name of an organization or website, or is otherwise inappropriate (see our blocking and username policies for more information).
You are encouraged to create a new account and contribute to Wikipedia under a more appropriate username. Wikipedia:Username provides guidance on selecting an appropriate username. You may also edit Wikipedia without creating an account.
You are not allowed to edit Wikipedia under an inappropriate username. If you would like to discuss the block, you may appeal on your talk page or email the administrator who blocked you. Due to Wikipedia's mechanism for enforcing name changes, your IP address may be temporarily blocked. Unless you have also been engaging in vandalism or impersonation of another user, we will remove that block as soon as possible.
If you want to keep the contributions from your old account for your new username, please follow these directions: (1) Add {{unblock-un|your new username here}} to your user talk page. This is possible because even when you are blocked, you can still edit your own talk page. (2) Soon, an admin may come to unblock you. (3) You will have 24 hours after the unblock to file a request on Wikipedia:Changing username before you may be re-blocked. Note that this can only be done before you create the new one. For more information, please visit Wikipedia:Changing username. In many cases (especially if your account has few or no edits), it is a lot easier to create a new account.

[edit] Block response
Responding to email Yea, it's the account name that's the problem... I made it so that you should be able to create a new account with a different username.
Sorry that you've been treated roughly when editing, I'm going off-line now but I'll leave a note with some other adminstrators to try to get it sorted out.
Also note that you'll still be able to edit this page in order to communicate, and you can even put {{unblock}} or {{helpme}} to get attention.

- I've left a note on here regarding this, and I suggest that you simply try to pick a new username, preferably with neither the words "wiki" nor "warrior" in it! If you have problems, copy paste the one of the templates (including the curly braces) from the display screen above and you should get some assistance. - brenneman 06:43, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for clearing that up. I should have known that it was the username but I was mixed up because of the coincidence of also having my post deleted.
[edit] Cyborg
Your additon to the article was a little 'out there', especially in the context of a short article (which in this case is pretty poor example of what Wikipedia can produce.) But the editor should not have been so rude in his revert! There may be a better 'social aspects of science fiction article' for your expertise. Drop me a line when you get a new username. --Steve (Slf67) talk 09:17, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Unblocked
You have been unblocked, per this discussion. I would suggest reading it over; although your username is not completely inappropriate, you might receive some hassles about it. Regardless, it does not look like you will be forced to change it as long as you continue to contribute constructively. -- tariqabjotu 22:56, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
