User talk:Agaro~enwiki

The edits were made with an IP number, which means no log in was stolen. As you told me, you share this IP with a lot of people -- which is a pity because in case of new vandalism, this IP will be reported and then blocked. Lesfer (talk) 12:22, 5 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi there, Agaro. Please, contact Redux. He's an Wikipedia's administrator. Regards —Lesfer (talk/@) 22:20, 4 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi. In the case of shared IPs, we can't pinpoint the exact machine or the exact person who may have been responsible for the actions.  If the action came from a registered account and you suspect that it may have been someone you know, or if it's an anonymous editor that you suspect to be someone you know, there are ways to look for the truth, to some extent: the IP of a registered account can be tracked by a user with CheckUser rights (see Requests for CheckUser), but this kind of request is not done lightly, in view of our privacy policy, so make sure you have reasonable cause for suspecting something before requesting a check, since it may be denied otherwise.  As far as IP addresses that you might suspect to be from your workplace, you can make a WHOIS querry and find out (there are links to the querry posted in the talk pages of the IP addresses). As far as shared IPs vandalising Wikipedia, they will be blocked for it, but as a rule, they will be blocked for shorter period of times, so as to minimize the harm done to uninvolved parties.  Now that you have registered and have your own account, you shouldn't have too much trouble with cases of mistaken identity.  Still, it is possible that, if you are accessing Wikipedia with your registered account but from an IP address that might happen to be blocked, your account may end up blocked as well.  This is a technical limitation of our software, and we call it an "autoblock".  But if that happens, you can contact any Administrator and request to be unblocked immediately.  Once you attempt an edit but are prevented by an autoblock, an Administrator will be able to unblock your registered account while leaving the IP address itself still blocked.  I hope this helps.  If there's anything else, feel free to contact me again.  Regards,  Redux 21:53, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Agaro. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Agaro~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 21:40, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information.
