Note that the above list is not exhaustive, and there may be other illegitimate uses of multiple accounts that are discovered on a case-by-case basis. Please also note that intentionally editing while logged out when a registered account exists is also considered sock puppetry, and may be treated the same as two accounts being operated by the same person. Users who engage in sock puppetry may be blocked from editing, and if they engage in sock puppetry across multiple wikis, may be globally locked. Additionally, the underlying IP address range of any sock puppet accounts may be blocked by [[Stewards]] with the assistance of the [[Stewards#Roles|CheckUser]] tool &ndash; on shared networks, this may impact other users. If you have been using multiple accounts illegitimately, please verify that immediately and disclose any and all user accounts that you have created. If you have not been using multiple accounts, and believe that you have received this message in error, please leave a message on my talk page or on the [[Steward requests|Steward requests page]]. If your account has already been blocked and/or globally locked, you may appeal by email to <code>stewards@wikioasis.org</code>. {{{2|Thanks!}}}<noinclude>[[Category:User warning templates]]</noinclude>
