*I have been blocked for using my first name, Ban, as a username. Your
username policy says nothing that could indicate "Ban" as being an
impersonation of someone, offensive, or otherwise worthy of any level of
blocking. Here is the error message:*

*Your user name or IP address has been blocked from editing*.
You were blocked by Anonymous
editor<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Anonymous_editor>for the
following reason (see our blocking
policy <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Blocking_policy>): "username"

Your IP address is *64.233.172.4*.

*If there is some obvious reason for blocking me that I cannot see, then can
I use "Ban Galen?"*

*Thank you for your time.*

*: Ban Galen :*
