The error message I get is now :

Your IP address has been automatically blocked because it was used by another 
user, who was blocked by Prokoudine. The reason given is this: 
Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "LgwU4y". The 
reason given for LgwU4y's block is: "spam" 
 Start of block: 05:24, 7 September 2007 
 Expiry of block: 05:24, 8 September 2007 
You may contact Prokoudine or one of the other administrators to discuss the 
block. 
Note that you may not use the "e-mail this user" feature unless you have a 
valid e-mail address registered in your user preferences and you have not 
been blocked from using it. 
Your block ID is 103. Please include this ID in any queries you make.

If you could disable the IP-blocking address system, the one from wikipedia 
seems completely broken, as in the previous messages it said my IP was 
127.0.0.1, and second point because of dynamic IP, you can never know if the 
IP used by a spammer isn't now used by a non-spammer.

And if someone who can edit could at least remove the spam on the OpenRaster 
page : (I am a little bit ashame to give away that link...)
