If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
  • Specifically, the issue here is that this is potentially libelous, and is unsourced. To make a statement like that, you need to back it up. Yes, I've seen the photo & I don't know if that's actually her. If I accept that it is, it still doesn't prove anything of what you posted. And the only sites online that are saying this stuff, seem to be kooky QAnon sites. So on that basis, I'm going to remove those revisions per WP:BLP policy - Alison 22:29, 10 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Block Appeal

edit

@ST47:

 
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).

108.12.194.196 (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is 108.12.194.196. ST47 could not find any way to leave a message on your talk page, as per instructions on [user page] 108.12.194.196 (talk) 05:57, 6 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

No evidence IP is or ever has been blocked or on a blocked range. What message do you see when you try to edit? — Daniel Case (talk) 09:22, 6 February 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.

See the blocked message here: https://ibb.co/xJdk7zt Of note Daniel Case, the IP referenced in the error message is not the IP showing on any "What is my ip?" website. 108.12.194.196 (talk) 09:47, 6 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Alright. This is beyond my ability to resolve. It could be that someone on your range is using the blocked range ... sometimes that's been the issue as their proxy will pull in other IPs, from what I've read when this has happened on other occasions. That means the problem might be on your end; I'd suggest talking to your network administrator as this actually might be something they'd want to know about.

@Daniel Case: how could I do that? I don't have an administrator. Should I call the Telcom company and tell them Wikipedia is blocked? Thanks on anything you can help.
Well, it seems like you're Verizon FiOS ... call their tech support, I guess. If it's residential Internet, it's possible that someone on your range installed some software that's doing this, and if that's so I'm sure Verizon would like to know. (Just also, the block on the range is global, applied to all Wikimedia projects, so we can't lift it from here). Daniel Case (talk) 09:59, 6 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Daniel Case: Thanks for your help. If I create an account, would this help?
