Block message:

CheckUser evidence has determined that this IP address or network has been used (not necessarily by you) to disrupt Wikipedia. It has been blocked from editing to prevent further abuse. Wikipedia tries to be open, but we sometimes must block IP addresses to prevent editing by abusers, vandals, or block evaders. These blocks can affect users who have done nothing wrong. If you are a legitimate user, follow the instructions below to edit despite the block. Users who are the intended target of a range block may still appeal the block. IP users (without an account): If you do not have an account and wish to bypass this block, an account can be created to allow you to edit. In general, these blocks only prevent users who are not logged in from editing; once you are logged in, the block will no longer affect you in any way. Please use the account creation request form to request an account under your preferred username. It is important that you use an e-mail address issued to you by your ISP, school, or organisation, so we may verify that you are a legitimate user. If using the form, please refer to this block under "comments". If e-mailing, please refer to this block in your message. Registered users (with an account): Please make sure you are logged in to your account. If you are unable to edit while logged in you may request IP block exemption to bypass blocks unconnected with you that affect your editing. Post an unblock request to your user talk page.

Decline reason: Procedural decline. You forgot to fill in the fields so we can't investigate this request. Yamla (talk) 12:29, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

Yamla, Is he allowed to put in another, correct request? The Banner talk 18:16, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I surely wasn't editing under the IP address which seems to have vandalized, as I have edited the English Wikipedia only with this account, except for this edit which surely isn't vandalism. I have a shared internet connection so I suppose someone else was editing under the same IP address. Can I have an IP block exemption? The Wiki ghost (talk) 18:32, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

Decline reason:

The IP address that you edited from was blocked as a proxy. However, you have been able to edit your talk page so you plainly have access to an unblocked IP. Consequently, an IPBE is not necessary. Just Chilling (talk) 19:33, 28 December 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.

Just Chilling, to my knowledge editing the talk page still works even when the editor is affected by an IP block, just as it would work if they were directly blocked. No opinion on IPBE, which likely would need a CheckUser to take a look. Huon (talk) 19:37, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

User:Huon is right. I can edit this talk page, but everywhere else on Wikipedia I get the message You are currently unable to edit Wikipedia (in red characters) when I click on Edit. I'm sorry but this is beginning to annoy me now; why can't my account simply be exempted from the underlying IP block? The Wiki ghost (talk) 09:50, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

Request reason:

Due to an IP block, I can only edit my talk page now - please see the comments herabove by user:Huon The Wiki ghost (talk) 10:42, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

Accept reason:

Should be resolved due to There'sNoTime's intervention. Huon (talk) 11:28, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
