24~enwiki

The statement on the User page is wrong. The IP block/ban was of short duration and soon expired.

The user simply did not return, at least not under this IP number. Long afterwards, several other IP numbers were asserted to be the same person. This has never been confirmed, and various people including Jim Wales have publicly questioned the association of the earlier with the later rumoured identities.

To state that User:24 is subject of a present ban is thus simply incorrect. Correct it to the current policy statement regarding this user, please. If somehow someone has ruled that 24 "is" some other person or group of people, who says that, and, why does that imply a ban on this IP if it is no longer in that person/group's use?

Clarity is required here.

Wikipedia:List of banned users says that 24 is banned as a "sockpuppet" of EntmootsOfTrolls. Whether or not this is true is probably disputable, but they are indeed banned.[1] 24 at 20:40, 1 September 2005 (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 24. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name 24~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
