Request reason:

Your reason here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Zzuuzz Hi. I have no idea what this means:

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia Reason for the block

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.

We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.

If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:

If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

Block will expire in a year / 25 April 2020 12:32 PM OK

I must be among the most anodyne editor there is. I just fix spelling mistakes and minor oversights, on topics hardly anyone cares about. This block seems a little draconian, no? In addition, is April 25th a year?

Decline reason:

Duplicate request, leaving the request below open. SQL^{Query me!} 06:31, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

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.

Hi - you'll need to provide the IP you're using so we can review the block. If you don't want to disclose it here, WP:UTRS is an option. GAB^gab 16:27, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Request reason:

Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is 185.244.215.4. Place any further information here. Had my VPN on. Oops. Perhaps you could give a warning before blocking someone for 16 months for a first "offense"

Decline reason:

You were not blocked for 16 months. Your VPN's IP is. This isn't directed at you, nor are you personally blocked from editing, we simply do not allow edits from VPN's.

No warning is required in this case. SQL^{Query me!} 06:33, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

How do you edit a page that says "This page is protected to prevent vandalism"?

There are overt grammatical errors that make some statements unintelligible. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itamar "In 2002, Palestinian villagers near Itamar claimed they were not involved in attacks, and ask why they should be published for them." I'm certain it should read 'asked' and more absurdly, 'punished'. How does one fix this? Who gets the right to edit these pages? Clayalc (talk) 06:13, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
