TopAce~enwiki

Greetings!
My name is Ryan, and it's my pleasure to welcome you, TopAce~enwiki, to Wikipedia! First of all, I'd like to thank you for joining the project, and contributing to articles and discussion. I hope you can continue to take part in Wikipedia, because we need more valuable editors like yourself.

If you are new and need some assistance, here are some great links to check out:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia are the primary goals and most important rules that we follow.
• These help pages are important if you'd like to learn more about specific processes.
• The tutorial is a hands-on approach to learning all about editing.
  • For a "crash course" in editing, head on over to Redwolf24's Bootcamp!
• Writing a great article is a noble accomplishment. An article you start might end up on the Main Page!
• The Manual of style is an in-depth group of pages that will teach you how to make articles look their very best.

I hope you enjoy editing here, and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, find out where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Before I go, here's one more tip. When you post on talk pages, be sure to sign your name and the date by typing four tildes: ~~~~. That automatically generates your username and the date. Again, welcome, and happy editing!  --Merovingian (t) (c) (e) 21:56, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Autoblocked

{{unblock-auto reviewed|81.182.81.121||Jayjg|decline=Sorry, we need the block message as well. -- [[User:Yamla|Yamla]] 20:32, 15 February 2007 (UTC)}} {{unblock-auto|1=81.182.81.121|2=|3=Jayjg}} There wasn't a block message, not a single word. At least I cannot find it; my block log is empty and the List of blocked IP addresses (or whatever) page cannot even find my IP address or login name. - TopAce 20:46, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Taking a look at Jayjg's block log, it looks like it was a range block to stop socks of Kgeza67 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). I've pasted below the particular entry in the log ... and his previous blocks make it clear who he was going after. I don't know of any good reason not to redo the block with anon only/account creation blocked. --BigDT 03:48, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

• 10:39, February 14, 2007 Jayjg (Talk | contribs | block) blocked "81.182.0.0/16 (contribs)" (account creation blocked, noautoblock) with an expiry time of 1 week

I see that someone's already contacted Jayjg for comment regarding this range block; given that checkusers have access to information that other admins don't, it's often difficult for us to determine an appropriate course of action when their blocks seem to cause collateral damage. Jayjg should get word back to us before too long. In the meantime, please bear with us, and thanks for your patience. – Luna Santin (talk) 07:15, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Ah, my bad. I took a look at my Block log and not his. No problem if it's only one week. Thanks for making this clear. - TopAce 17:01, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

N.B. user has almost 150 uneventful contributions from what I see going back to 2005. TonyTheTiger 16:54, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

• And? - TopAce 18:30, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
  • By uneventful, I mean that no controversies, warnings, blocks, etc. It is no statement about the quality of his contributions. TonyTheTiger 22:51, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
    • I suspected as much, I just wanted to make a comment on your talk page that I did not take offense on this. What's "N. B." anyway? - TopAce 22:53, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Nota Bene - literally "note well", but more accurately "please note". 〈REDVEЯS〉 22:58, 17 February 2007 (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 TopAce. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name TopAce~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

Renamed

This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: Special:GlobalRenameRequest. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
