Hello. Are you someone in authority over ? — Kralizec! (talk) 00:26, 4 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes I am, and to be frank, I think the block you have imposed is out of order. You've just denied editing rights to 20,000 users. Steveb (talk) 01:11, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * In regards to the above, you might be interested in this discussion: Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents -MBK004 01:54, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Your messages on the talk page notifying editors to report abuse to the email is most likely not going to be followed, as most recent change patrollers use automated tools like WP:Huggle to revert and warn the vandal (which does not show the talk page). A option for you to monitor warnings would be to sign up for a RSS feed for the talk page. On a side note, editing Wikipedia is not a "right". The blocks were following established policies and guidelines to stop vandalism. Netalarm   talk  06:18, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * In response to your comment to my talk page, please see my response here. BTW, an RSS feed for that page might be the simplest answer to your desire to be notified of warnings as it fits in well with the process in place for recent change patrol. Another option could be for someone to have a bot monitor and email notices - but there's policy to deal with, plus some concerns about how it should work (e.g., should every change to that page result in an email?), so a bot is not a short term solution.

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 Steveb. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Steveb~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 03:11, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
