Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Koalabuttz", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it is inappropriate. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. -- Deepfriedokra 15:41, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As a third party (who saw this complaint pop up on UAA), I'm confused on this one. Fuzzy koala butts qualify as "likely to offend other contributors?" or is there some other policy I'm overlooking? I consider my mother a litmus test for what's offensive and she says Koalabuttz is a-okay with her. Skeletor3000 (talk) 02:10, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Skeletor3000! I hadn't had a chance to address this yet, but it confuses me in the same way. I'd be more than happy to request a name change if it did truly violate the username policy, but I couldn't imagine my username to be offensive to anyone. I've used this username on other platforms and haven't gotten any complaints before. --Koalabuttz (talk) 02:22, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you might have noticed, I did not block but instead opened discussion. And yes, "butt" is not appropriate in my opinion, not so much that I broke m fingernails clicking the block button.. No idea what will happen next. If this is still listed at WP:UAA, I will note your decision to decline a user name change. Whether or not a block ensues, I do not know. Most likely there would be a request for comment about it, where it can be discussed. ( I think that would be best, if anyone cares enough to do so.) Once again, I've opted not to block, so we will see what happens next. If a request for comment ensues, whoever files it should let you know. Sorry for the aggravation; I'm not the one who listed the thing.-- Deepfriedokra 03:42, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I'm not frustrated at all, just fond of this username! I appreciate your input. --Koalabuttz (talk) 04:27, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like you're no longer listed on UAA. Long live Koalabuttz. Skeletor3000 (talk) 18:54, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
