Here is what has
happened to me. I have written and edited NUMEROUS
articles, you can
see a list on user:Please Don't Block. Most of
these were edited under
the name "Noah Peters."
I wrote to Noah about this issue a couple of weeks ago because I stumbled on it and it seemed odd. He replied to me this evening and asked me to delete the user and talk pages for all these accounts, which I have now done (with the exception of the talk page of Noah Peters, which can't be deleted because of some technical problem, so I've blanked and protected it instead).
I've advised Noah to start from scratch with a new user account so his IP is not visible, and then he'll be able to rebuild his profile. So long as he sticks to Wikipedia policies, he shouldn't have any problems.

So long as he doesn't try to get another User's User ID and account moved, like he tried once before.

For the record, I never tried to get another user's User ID and account "moved" (moved where?). I have no idea what you are talking about, Rick K.
