I've put a temporary block on account creation. Please be aware of Wikipedia's policy on sockpuppets. While there is no prohibition against multiple accounts, your rapid creation of multiple accounts raises a red flag. Why so many accounts? You may post your response on this talk page. — ERcheck (talk) 01:42, 14 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the note to my talk page. The temporary block, on account creation only, expired last week.

Let me welcome to you and your friends to Wikipedia. Here are some pages that you might find helpful as a newcomer to Wikipedia:

I hope you enjoy editing. If you find you need assistance that you cannot glean from the info above, place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! — ERcheck (talk) 23:36, 20 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

I know this might be a bit picky, but just a little advice that you should probably use {{db-bio}} in the case of these pages rather than using your own message. The admins would probably prefer to read that it has a db-bio tag and not a 'stupid vanity' ScorpO 05:48, 21 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

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 Greengiraffe. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Greengiraffe~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
