User talk:Speed8ump~enwiktionary

User Speed8ump has been blocked by administrator Connel MacKenzie. No policy violation or abuse has ever been attributed to Speed8ump or to any IP address he has used. The block appears to have been initiated based purely on personal preference. --Speed8ump from 207.235.66.3 15:51, 28 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Except of course, the invalid mixing of numeric and alpha characters, like many of the vandal/impostor accounts here...which is why the account is blocked, but your IP is not and you are able to create a new account. --Connel MacKenzie 16:05, 28 November 2006 (UTC)


 * As mentioned previously this argument is based on personal preference rather than policy. As to its motivation, all I can offer is that vandals aren't *completely* stupid.  If you block them based on their names what do you suppose they will do?  I suggest you begin banning anyone who uses the naming scheme [a|an|the][adjective][noun].  That's what I would use.  Maybe anIrredeemableBoor, or perhaps thePenultimatePidgin.  --Speed8ump from 207.235.66.3 19:06, 29 November 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 Speed8ump. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Speed8ump~enwiktionary 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.

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 00:13, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
