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

Request reason:
Caught by a web host block but 2001:8d8:1fe::/47 is the web hosting company's corporate/workstation network and only used by employees. Istalix (talk) 16:45, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Procedural decline. You have since edited pages other than your talk page, so this seems resolved. If you still think the IP block should be changed, you can contact the blocking administrator at User talk:Elockid. Huon (talk) 15:28, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
Are you sure this is your ISP? 1and1 does web hosting and servers and VPNs but does not serve as a primary ISP, as far as I can tell. I want to be clear, I may very well be mistaken. --Yamla (talk) 17:08, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
1and1 does offer web hosting and servers, but doesn't offer VPN services; in Germany, 1and1 also offers mobile and broadband access, but is using different networks and IP address ranges than the blocked address space 2001:8d8::/32. 2001:8d8:1fe::/47 is the IPv6 assignment used for employee networks in Europe. Source: I'm a 1and1 employee and looked up the exact network assignment both within our IP assignment tool and our office networks wiki documentation. Istalix (talk) 20:11, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
Ping @Elockid:, this is your block on 2001:8D8:0:0:0:0:0:0/32. Assuming Istalix is telling the truth, and I have absolutely no reason to doubt him or her, I see two options. Change the original block on 2001:8d8::/32 such that it excludes 2001:8d8:1fe::/47 (I must admit, my ipv6 skills are a bit insufficient to do that calculation), or grant an IP block exemption to Istalix. What do you think? --Yamla (talk) 20:22, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
