I was blocked for using a proxy. Given that I am in a country that censors wikipedia, thus can only access wikipedia though a proxy that is pretty ridiculous.

Hi there. I am o non-admin, but I can tell you there is currently no block against your name. Hopefully this post will help prevent you getting blocked for this again. Mdann52 (talk) 16:12, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That is not true unfortunately. I still get the same message stating that I cannot edit anything due to proxy use. D is for... (talk) 09:23, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please try to edit the WP:Sandbox and copy below the exact message you get. JohnCD (talk) 09:30, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You are currently unable to edit pages on Wikipedia.

You are still able to view pages, but you are now not able to edit, move, or create them.

Editing has been blocked (disabled) by Zzuuzz for the following reason(s): Banned proxys.svg The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be an open proxy. To prevent abuse, these proxies may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. If you believe you are not running an open proxy, the most likely cause is that another customer from your ISP who was previously assigned this IP address was running an open proxy. If this is the case, please request to be unblocked using the unblock template, or request administrator attention using admin! and indicate you are caught by an open proxy block. More rarely, your network equipment or that of your service provider may be misconfigured or compromised by malicious software (such as a virus). In some cases, this can be remedied by logging into the secure server. For more information, see the Wikiproject on Open Proxies and Wikipedia:Open proxies. D is for...

I've assigned IP block exemption to your account, so you should be good to edit now. Swarm X 03:53, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of YouTube personalities, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Telegraph (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

D is for... (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

PLEASE PLEASE see above. Scroll up. We've been there already: I spend most of my time in a country that blocks wikipedia. Which is why this was previously unblocked.

Accept reason:

IP block exemption granted. Note that this right can be removed for misuse. Good luck editing! Reaper Eternal (talk) 01:09, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Which country is that? PhilKnight (talk) 21:12, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page.
