You should also keep in mind the following article: Criticism of Wikipedia. Answer to your question: No, you cannot "import" your IP edits, but you can mention, under which IPs you edited before, on your User Page. Cmapm 19:42, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

{{unblock|I was totally arbitrarily blocked by user PMA, only because he doesn't agree with my well-informed and well-researched edits. To call my edits (that are based on much more intimate knowledge of the matters involved than the "World Book Yearbook") "article degradations" and "POV edits" is an outrageous and scandalous assertion that I am not going to tolerate. I demand that user PMA be immediately blocked for gross violations of his administrator privileges ! (Or should I say "forced to resign" from his status as an administrator since he is obviously unable to handle this duty decently ?)}}

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

Inappropriate block.

Having reviewed this block at the same time, I agree that PMA could have handled this much better such as warning you about our neutral point of view policy rather than blocking you. --  Netsnipe  ►  12:38, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

I also support this unblock. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 13:00, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Elsmlie, just to keep you informed, this issue has now been under discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents, and now a "Request for comment" has been opened here: Wikipedia:Requests for comment/PMA. Fut.Perf. ☼ 01:41, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you !

Thanks to all the users that defended me and helped me in the case concerning my block.
It it were'nt be a bit too pathetic, I would say that you have restored my confindence in the English WP...
