Unblock request edit

<<unblock|I'm not actually running an open proxy. I do have a couple incoming ports pushed through the NAT, but 8080 isn't one of them and none of them are proxy servers. I suppose that it's possible, though unlikely that one of the computers on the network is a zombie or part of a botnet. Could you provide more details on precisely what data was gathered to precipitate the block?>>

We can't actually review that without knowing the affected IP address -- if you're not comfortable posting that on-wiki, you can email the blocking administrator, or contact mail:unblock-en-l for assistance. – Luna Santin (talk) 02:30, 19 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
My apologies. I had assumed that you were going to just grab my IP address from my username. The IP in question is 209.242.227.89. Daniel Spiewak 06:33, 19 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Clearing an autoblock edit

Due to the nature of the block applied we need additional information before we can decide whether to unblock you. It is very likely that you are not personally blocked. If you are prevented from editing, it may be because you are autoblocked or blocked because of your IP address. Without further details there is nothing further we can do to review or lift your block. If you are still autoblocked by the time you read this message, please follow these instructions:

  1. If you have a Wikipedia account, please ensure that you are logged in.
    Your account name will be visible in the top right of this page if you are.
    If it isn't, try bypassing your web browser's cache.
  2. Try to edit the Sandbox.
  3. Copy the {{unblock-auto|...}} code generated for you under the "IP blocked?" section.
  4. Paste the code at the bottom of your user talk page and click save.

If you are not blocked from editing the sandbox then the autoblock on your IP address has already expired and you can resume editing. --  Netsnipe  ►  02:37, 19 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:Drbrain2.gif edit

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Drbrain2.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 10:07, 24 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Image copyright problem with Image:The Magic School Bus title credit.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:The Magic School Bus title credit.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Orphaned non-free image File:Andromeda title card.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Andromeda title card.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:21, 14 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
