Good morning Callanecc, Thank you for your support to help me solve this blocking problem. I am still a bit confused...You wrote to me "accept=Allowing username change to requested username." However I haven't seen the changes in my username yet. I am not sure what I have to do?.. (if anything apart for waiting actualization?). Thank you, greetings Velanidia Foundation 10:12, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
Well...I thought I did that already!sending : {{unblock-un|Lonaïs Velanidia|reason=I am a newcomer, I realize I created a username that contradicts Wikipedia policy.

Great, thank you Yunshui! After two failed attemps, hope this one will work! Greetings
Request completed:-) Wait and see!
These recents mishaps inspired me this proposition post for the Wiki:
Hello Wikipedia Team...I love the Wiki Project !
Basing on my personal experience, it can be sometimes harsh to make one's first steps as a new contributor, despite the fundamental principles :" Assume good faith" and " don't bite newcomers". So here is a small suggestion for Wikipedia's great platform developpers to still improve Wikipedia's conviviality-and especially indulgence towards newbies.. ! (I don't know who develops the web platform, so I leave it to you to forward the idea...)
I would like to suggest that action is taken preventively, so that new users don't infrige the policies and get blocked right after their very first contribution (for instance on ground of invalid username).
This could be done simply by the same automatic programm responsible for the ban : let it notify the user beforehand that the account he is creating contains words that are likely to result in a block, such as Society, Foundation, Group, etc... This would prevent the blunt barring a posteriori of good willing contributors, who just wished to contribute to the common good. This type of proactive action is applicable to other domains of course.
Here is my short story: I assembled material, with the help of a few friends, to create and expand some articles that we thought interesting and missing on Wikipedia. It took us a few days to carefully complete the work (although we are well aware it is still highly perfectible). Putting the first part of the work online, as a token of consideration for my collaborators, I created an account with the name of this (unformal) group. No promotional purposes in that ! (This association is totally non-profit, its goal is mainly to raise public awareness about the environment on a tiny island in the Aegean). BAM : blocked !
I realize I did unwittingly infrige Wikipedia policy, that is clearly specified. I apologize and wish to correct this. But please consider that Wikipedia's guidelines, policies and regulations span over dozens of pages, making it difficult for newcomers to absorb them all at once.
I suppose most contributers are like us, regular users of Wikipedia who simply wish to contribute to the common knowledge in their turn, in good faith...Assuming that sticking to the Five Pillars is fair enough. Be bold, they say ! So the blunt barring of a user- for an easily remediable problem - seems somewhat brutal. How could it be a motivating pedagogy ?
Still, congratulations for the remarkable achievement of Wikipedia and thank you for this worldwide epistemic adventure.

Hi Yunshui,
Thank you for your encouraging message. I really appreciate your support and good advice. So I forgive you for the users you block every day! ;-) (of course I am kidding, first I see you are doing everything to prevent it, and then I understand there must be serious reasons for that. The present situation helped me realize how sensitive was the conflict of interest theme on Wikipedia.)
Thank you for giving consideration to my post and contributions. I am especially touched as it comes from an experienced editor+ a passionate about Japan+...an Aïkidoka! :-)
Our names share the same propensity to get mispelled ;-) so I see you are careful on spellings and spelled mine correctly, thank you also for that.
So pleased to meet you...- this is at least one good collateral effect of those early "hiccups" - as you nicely put it.
Regards,
Lonaïs
Good luck with a new username and enjoy the Wiki - it's a great place Brookie :) { - he's in the building somewhere!} (Whisper...) 13:55, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Brookie shall I understand my request for a change in username went through? Can't see no changes yet.
