User talk:Devourer~enwiki

You have not been blocked, rather you may have been temporarily "autoblocked" as a result of a block placed on another user whose IP address you share (this is especially common with AOL, due to the way AOL users share the same set of IP addresses). Unfortunately, autoblocks are placed automatically by the Wikipedia software and it's not something that administrators can control or prevent. If you could let me know the complete text of the "you've been blocked" message you get (ie, the name of the other user) I could investigate further. -- Curps 01:42, 23 February 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 Devourer. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Devourer~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 23:25, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
