editOkay, here's what we need from you to try to help. Please log out of Wikipedia, then make an edit to Wikipedia:Sandbox. You'll get an error message. Copy all of the text you see.
Now log back into Wikipedia and come to this page. Edit below here and paste the text. This will give us the name of the admin that blocked the range, the IP address and the reasons. We can go on from there. Thanks! ➨ ЯEDVEЯS looks at danger and laughs his head off 11:42, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Here is the message that I have got. Please find below
You are currently unable to edit pages on Wikipedia.
You can still read pages, but cannot edit, change, or create them.
Editing from 59.145.89.17 (your account, IP address, or IP address range) has been disabled by Blueboy96 for the following reason(s): IP used by spamhaus that has linkspammed the project for two years
This block has been set to expire: indefinite.
Even if blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page and contact other editors and administrators by email.
Note: If you have JavaScript enabled, please use the [show] links across from each header to show more information.
- Thanks. I'll look into this for you. Sit tight. ➨ ЯEDVEЯS looks at danger and laughs his head off 11:56, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
IP Banned
edit{{help me}}
I found my IP (Dot Com Infoway) blocked from any usage of wikipedia pages. I apologize for the series of issues that has happened which led to ban the IP. I request your help to overcome it and get my IPs removed from your black list. Please let me know the procedure.

Dotcom Infoway Pvt. Ltd
editI've looked into this and can confirm that the IP address you want unblocked is banned from editing Wikipedia, as is User:Stephenlewis. This is because the IP address, plus a large number of sockpuppet accounts spent two years repeatedly adding unwanted external links. Due to the prolonged and systemic nature of the abuse, I am not inclined to lift this block and find it unlikely that anyone else will be willing to do so either.
You can, if you wish, continue to edit Wikipedia yourself through this account; but any addition of external links with AdSense (or related) links or to sites listed on User talk:59.145.89.17 will result in this account being blocked immediately and indefinitely.
I'm sorry if this is not the outcome you hoped for. Wikipedia strives to remain editable by everyone everywhere, but this was a very serious case of abuse and Wikipedia's administrators have a duty to act to protect our readers and the project as a whole. ➨ ЯEDVEЯS looks at danger and laughs his head off 12:06, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- I have understood the seriousness only when I noticed the page where you have mentioned the company name with the details on spam. After which we have stopped all our activities in wikipedia for more than two months only after which I request for unblock. I will ensure that we won't indulge in such kind of activities here on and will make sure that we will be a good contributor for wikipedia. This has affected me a lot and build a bad reputation on us. It would be helpful that if you could atleast remove the details from this page link alone and let the editing ban remain the same. Please do consider my request. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrisdru (talk • contribs)
- Given the long-term (two whole years of continual addition of promotional links to a not-for-profit encyclopedia funded by charitable donations) nature of the abuse, we need to keep a record of it in order to watch for it happening again. Therefore the link you provided has to remain. The abuse was done in public, so the monitoring of the abuse is also done in public. I'm sorry that this impacts upon you, but this company did spend two whole years spamming Wikipedia. ➨ ЯEDVEЯS looks at danger and laughs his head off 12:25, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
I apologize that I'm really unaware that the event has taken place for two whole years. I was only notified it few months back after which we have stopped all activities in Wikipedia. After waiting for few months only I have raised the request. I'll ensure that we don't spam it here on can you at least let me know any possibility on when this page and its details will be removed.
