Requests for account creator flag

 * The account Creator flag is given to users who are already active in the account creation process. Users actively creating accounts without this flag are constricted to a limit of six

accounts a day. Also, certain request with special circumstances such as usernames similar to an account already in existence are flagged for users with the account creator bit and can only be processed by these users. You are welcome to request access to the account creation interface Here. New user acceptance, by ACC Administrators is based on the need for new users and is not guaranteed.

ACC request approved
, thank you for interest in the account creation process. I have verified your Identification [] and I have approved your request, welcome to the team. You may now access the interface here. Before you do so, please read the account creation guide and our username policy thoroughly to familiarize yourself with the process. You should also join us on IRC on  where a bot informs us when new account requests come in and to get any advice on requests as well as the mailing list. Please note that we have implemented a policy of zero tolerance on mishandled requests, and that failure to assess correctly will result in suspension. I would like to emphasize that it is not a race to complete a request, and each one should be handled diligently and thoroughly. Currently you are allowed to create up to six accounts per day, although you won't be able to create an account with a similar name to that of another user; these requests are marked "Account Creator Needed" by the bot and "Flagged user needed" on the interface. However, if you reach the limit frequently, you can request the account creator permission at WP:PERM/ACC. Please keep in mind that the ACC tool is a powerful program, and misuse will result in your access being suspended by a tool administrator. Don't hesitate to get in touch with me if you have any questions. Thank you for participating in the account creation process. Again welcome!

-- Riley Huntley, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Riley_Huntley https://toolserver.org/~acc/ Account Creation Team Thank you for your interest in helping other users to create accounts. Unfortunately, your application was unsuccessful on this occasion. This is because there is no particular backlog or shortage of users on the ACC team; therefore, Wikipedians with comparatively little editing experience aren't generally offered access. Please feel free to ask for a review of this request by replying to this email in a few months, once you have gained a bit more experience in a wider variety of areas. Cheers, Riley Huntley.

Password reset

Shared accounts
Hello ; This is Riley with the Wikipedia Account Creation Team. I have received your request and have noticed a problem with your requested username, Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be "Shared" as your username implies. The relevant policy can be found here [1] There isn't a problem creating separate accounts for each person. If I am incorrect with my presumption about your request, please reply with a short explanation of your choice and the account will be created.

Tor/Proxy
Hello,  Looking at our logs, it appears the IP address you're requesting from belongs to a proxy service. Open or anonymising proxies, including Tor, are blocked from editing Wikipedia. While this may affect legitimate users, they are not the intended targets. No restrictions are placed on reading Wikipedia through an open or anonymous proxy.

Although Wikipedia encourages anyone in the world to contribute, open proxies are often used abusively. MediaWiki, the wiki software that powers Wikipedia, depends on IP addresses for administrator intervention against abuse, especially by anonymous users. Open proxies allow malicious users to rapidly change IP addresses, causing continuous disruption that cannot be stopped by administrators. Several such attacks have occurred on Wikimedia projects, causing disruption and occupying administrators who would otherwise deal with other concerns.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to edit while using this open proxy.

You may make another request from a different IP.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. -- Riley Huntley, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Riley_Huntley https://toolserver.org/~acc/ Account Creation Team
