  This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Damascus High School, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. DMacks (talk) 19:45, 28 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a message letting you know that one or more of your recent edits to Dan Bailey (American football) has been undone by an automated computer program called ClueBot NG.

Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 23:21, 11 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Dan Bailey (American football), you may be blocked from editing. -- The Voidwalker Discuss 00:40, 12 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

I believe this is an error because I did not nor did anyone who uses my computer or Internet service vandalize or even edit the Damascus High School Wikipedia page/article. I have never visited the Damascus High School Wikipedia page nor have I ever heard of that High School. Additionally, no one using my computer or Internet service has ever edited the Weather Channel Wikipedia page; no one using my computer or Internet service has edited the American footballer page either and no one has tried to circumvent these blocks. I believe that I am a registered user, however, I do not remember the last time I logged in nor do I remember my password. I have edited/made contributions to a few Wikipedia pages and provided properly formatted inline text citations and source documentation for the edits that I made. I only edit Wikipedia pages/articles if information is missing from the article or page and or if I know information is not correct. 107.77.202.188 (talk) 16:46, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

Decline reason:

The block is because of very long term persistent disruptive editing by one person, who moves from one IP address to another, thus evading blocks. Blocking an IP range, which is likely to cause inconvenience for innocent editors as well as disruptive ones, is something that we don't like to do, but sometimes it is the only way to deal with a problematic editor. (I also have reasons to strongly suspect that you may in fact be the troublesome editor in question.) The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 22:03, 10 December 2016 (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.

The Weather Channel/timezones pages vandal is a long-term problem, including rapid IP hopping and creation of named accounts, attacking many pages. Long-term /24 blocks have been the only successful solution. The direct trigger here was User:107.77.202.196 representing a return to this /24 after a previous shorter block had expired.

Given that "requesting creation of an account" is the standard and fully functional workaround for this situation, I don't see a reason to change the block at this time. @JamesBWatson: let me know if you want more thoughts. DMacks (talk) 21:43, 10 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

Once again, I have never edited or made contributions to The Weather Channel/timezones page or any of the other pages. These are fake logs because I have never edited these pages. I only have one Wikipedia Username and Password and I am currently unable to log-in because I cannot remember my username and or password. The reason I am requesting to be unblocked is so that I may request for Wikipedia to create an account on my behalf in order to log-in from my current (and only) IP address moving forward that I have had for a few years now and make valuable contributions to Wikipedia content. I do not know how to change my IP address. I will have to check my computer's history files to see if I still have a history log. If I do I am willing to email a copy as proof that no one using any electronic devices connected to my Internet service accessed Wikipedia. 107.77.202.188 (talk) 17:36, 11 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

It doesn't matter whether you are the person making those edits - someone from the IP range you use is, and thus we cannot unblock the IP range. As was said above, you are welcome to request creation of a new account; see WP:RAA. I apologize for the inconvenience. Logging in with an IP address without having an account isn't possible, though.
