given that you are banned from Wikipedia, any edits that you were to
make would constitute such an illegal act. Several sysops, and not just
Mackensen, have suggested that you may well be doing this, violating
your ban order. Perhaps you might want to think about finding another
place to play, Skyring?
Thanks, James. Given that Wikipedia doesn't require checking of
real-life identification before allowing access to the system, I can't
see your theory lasting too long in any court.
I can't see as "real-life identification" matters. Permission to access
the system is withdrawn from a person, not an "identification". Once
that permission is withdrawn, access is unauthorized.
