Thanks for sorting this out for me. For the record I thought I would just comment here that a sock puppet had set up an account using my user name on the Simple English Wikipedia which resulted in the block. This account has now been usurped and I have successfully claimed my user name on the Simple English Wikipedia. I have also set up a single-user log-in (SUL) for my various Wiki accounts to ensure that no one else will be able to impersonate me in the future.
