Thanks

Thanks, Ronz. Yes, I'm new at editing Wikipedia pages, and although I thought I had followed all the rules, on closer inspection (and with guidance from your talk page) I now understand my error. Thanks! ErikTownsend (talk) 17:53, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked. Grr....

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 159.196.169.8. I have NordVPM software installed on this system but it is disabled and has been for the duration of this boot session. ErikTownsend (talk) 02:06, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Everything in your request checks out but, of course, I can't unblock you since you aren't directly blocked and the proxy-block people are not easily persuaded by those of us who can't argue networking as well as they can. But ... this leaves you with what is your best hope: go to WP:IPECPROXY and follow the instructions to request IP block exemption so you won't have this problem again. — Daniel Case (talk) 07:26, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
