User talk:Melvis~enwiki
You have attempted to edit a page, either by clicking the "edit this page" tab or by following a red link.
Your user name or IP address has been <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Blocking_policy" title="Wikipedia:Blocking policy">blocked</a> by <a href="/wiki/User:Radiant%21" title="User:Radiant!">Radiant!</a>.
The reason given is this:
Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "<a href="/wiki/User:Melvis" title="User:Melvis">Melvis</a>". The reason given for Melvis's block is: "Sockpuppet. Only edits are VfD votes, user page, and a dozen minor tweaks.".
You can <a href="/wiki/Special:Emailuser/Radiant%21" title="Special:Emailuser/Radiant!">email Radiant!</a> or one of the other <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_administrators" title="Wikipedia:List of administrators">administrators</a> to discuss the block. You may also edit <a href="/wiki/Special:Mytalk" title="Special:Mytalk">your user talk page</a> if you wish. If you believe that our <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Blocking_policy" title="Wikipedia:Blocking policy">blocking policy</a> was violated, you may discuss the block publicly on the <a href="http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l" class='external text' title="http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l">WikiEN-l mailing list</a>. Note that you may not use the "email this user" feature unless you have a Wikipedia account and a valid email address registered in your Special:Preferences" user preferences</a>.
Your IP address is 282.256.582.72. Please include this address, along with your username, in any queries you make.
If you would like to know when the block will expire, please see the <a href="/wiki/Special:Ipblocklist" title="Special:Ipblocklist">block list</a>.
If you need to see the wiki text of an article, you may wish to use the <a href="/wiki/Special:Export" title="Special:Export">Export pages</a> feature.

Innocent?
Sometimes IP ranges or shared proxies are blocked from editing Wikipedia. This means that lots of innocent people can't edit. If this is the case, it should be explained in the reason given above.
Also, some individual dynamic IP addresses may be blocked, usually for a 24 hour period. Occasionally, users with dynamic IPs will be blocked accidentally, due to that fact that their present IP was previously used by a blocked user.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. If this problem affects you repeatedly, and you would like to help us resolve this issue, you will need to contact a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators" title="Wikipedia:Administrators">Wikipedia administrator</a> and your <a href="/wiki/Internet_service_provider" title="Internet service provider">internet service provider</a> (ISP). The administrator should be able to obtain the time, date, and IP address used for the inappropriate behaviour in question, and describe what the problem was. You can then pass this information on to your ISP, explaining that you are unable to edit Wikipedia due to the inappropriate actions of another person using this ISP, and ask them to remedy the problem.

Just reading?
You are not blocked from reading pages, only from editing them. If you were only intending to read a page and are seeing this message, you probably followed a red link. These are links to pages that do not exist, so they take users to an editing screen. You should have no problem if you follow only blue links.
Your account will be renamed
[edit]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 Melvis. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Melvis~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
