Would I be right in assuming that it is meant to be read as "Resign, Pope Benedict XVI"? I dont have a problem with a name like that myself, but given the subject material youre editing, some other people may, and it would be good to get the problem out of the way now rather than in the midst of an editorial conflict. — Soap — 17:18, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
I have opened this matter for broader discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators noticeboard/Incidents#User:ResignBen16. I am not commenting here or there on your edits themselves, but I find as a fact that your assertion that your contentious username is just a coincidence is not credible.

Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).
A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved
bot account.
Please choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. However, do not create a new account if you wish to credit your existing contributions to a new name through a username change. To request a username change:
{{
unblock-un|your new username here}}
below. You should be able to edit this talk page even though you are blocked. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.{{

below, but you should read our
guide to appealing blocks first.

04:50, 5 April 2010 (UTC)I prepared the following before the block occurred. I have noticed your edits and consequently recognized your name when I saw it on ANI. Please take my comments here as an honest attempt to help. Suppose you are correct and your name is nothing to do with your editing interests, and suppose that the people opposing you are entirely wrong. Yet, you need to agree to a name change because a significant number of your fellow Wikipedia editors think that your name may indicate a campaign, and this is a collaborative venture – since your username is not an attempt to campaign, you might be keen to allay the concerns that have been expressed. Strenuously sticking to your two-day old name rather confirms the concern. An alternative to a name change would be to stop editing. There are many topics where people are in bitter opposition in real life, and this is an encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Consequently, to protect against disruption, many strong policies have been developed to ensure the departure of any editors who aggressively pursue an agenda. You may not be aware of WP:CIVIL (and its stronger WP:NPA cousin), but this comment is totally unacceptable here. Many new editors think that Wikipedia must be like other Internet forums where anything goes; that is totally incorrect as you will find. You must not accuse editors who disagree with you of personal failings – we comment on edits not on editors. Please note that you are certain to attract the attention of people who really do have an opposite POV, and it might be helpful to regard this username incident as preparation because when you are in a serious dispute you need to have a good understanding of Wikipedia's procedures.
