Request reason:
Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. I guess my ISP pulls dynamically assigned DSL IPs from the same pool as their cloud service? InertReactionMass (talk) 22:19, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Looking at our logs, the IP address you're editing from belongs to a colocation webhosting service. Open or anonymising proxies, including Tor and web hosting services, are blocked from editing Wikipedia. While this may affect legitimate users, they are not the intended targets. No restrictions are placed on reading Wikipedia through a webhost.
Although Wikipedia encourages anyone in the world to contribute, open proxies and webhosts are often used abusively. MediaWiki, the wiki software that powers Wikipedia, depends on IP addresses for administrator intervention against abuse, especially by anonymous users. Anonymizing services allow malicious users to rapidly change and disguise IP addresses, causing continuous disruption that cannot be stopped by administrators. Several such attacks have occurred on Wikimedia projects, causing disruption and occupying administrators who would otherwise deal with other concerns.
Your limited edit history means that you are not eligible for any form of exemption. Unfortunately, you won't be able to edit while using this webhost. Just Chilling (talk) 22:25, 15 October 2017 (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.
You need to let us know what your IP address is. If you want privacy, use WP:UTRS. PhilKnight (talk) 23:51, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
I'm also concerned that this unblock request bears marked similarities to a couple of others that I have reviewed today. Please provide a list of all accounts you have created. GoldenRing (talk) 00:23, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
My IP address is currently 69.3.147.232. This is the only account I have ever created. InertReactionMass (talk) 07:53, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
