Checking logs...

It appears your IP address was used in a spammy attempt to create a
user account

2015-09-06 20:14:11 UTC: New account attempt
  username: AdelaHatte
  email:    kristeenlansford2406@discardmail.com
  host:     XXXXX DELETED

and it was blocked then.

If you'd rather discuss that privately (I'm guessing you would,
considering the hush.com address), reply to wiki@debian.org...
