- I often fo my Wikipedia browsing and editing from a school network. The school network has been IP blocked. While I believe this block is justified, it prevents me from editing even when logged in. You can verify that I will contribute construtivly and not abuse editing priveledges by looking at my account on the Team Fortress 2 Wiki. This account was made to replace my old account, Stevoisiak, for which I have since lost the password for. If the block on IP address 66.206.115.182 could be changed to a {{ anonblock}} or {{ schoolblock}}, I would greatly appreciate it. -- Stevoisiake ( talk) 16:36, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
- Looking at
the block log, when the block was placed in February editing by logged in users was allowed ("anon only"), but on 18 Mar the blocking admin specifically changed the block to prevent it. I will ask him why he did that.

- It seems that students were making accounts at home and using them disruptively from the school. However, your record is good, so I have given you IP block exemption which will allow you to edit from school. Take great care to safeguard your password, and do not leave any terminal unattended while logged in. JohnCD ( talk) 20:53, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello Stevoisiak, noticed your noticeboard question. That place archives quickly, so you fell off the frontpage, but your question was answered:
Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Archive257#Transfer_to_or_closure_of_old_account
I've also put the link in the section-title here for you. Let me know if you have trouble getting your usernames reassigned to your satisfaction.
See also, one of the paragraphs here -- Help:Logging_in#What_if_I_forget_the_password.3F -- "create a new account under a different username ((you already did this)). After doing this, if a user page and user talk page were created for the old account ((they were)), it is advisable to make them redirect to the equivalent pages for the new account." But instead, *you* want to password-reset the *old* uid Steviosiak... and then make the *new* uid Steviosiake redirect to the freshly-revived *old* uid, right? Make sure the Bureaucrat understands your exact goal. Help:Reset_password is prolly no good for you now, I presume.
p.s. Also, you should (right now) prolly informally "link" the two accounts, by putting a message on both userpages or both talkpages, saying something simple like " User_talk:Stevoisiak and User_talk:Stevoisiake are the same humanoid" or the equivalent. Hope this helps, thanks for improving wikipedia. 74.192.84.101 ( talk) 07:05, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
