secure login You are not blocked from reading pages, only from editing them.

If you have just clicked a red link, it means you were blocked from starting a new page as no article on that topic exists yet.

What do I do now?

 * If the reason given is "username", "user...", "contact an administrator for verification purposes", or something similar, then you have been blocked for choosing an inappropriate username. To request a change in username and be unblocked, please follow these instructions. Alternatively, create a new account with a more appropriate name.
 * If you have never edited Wikipedia before or do not have an account, please see the Unregistered? section.
 * If you are using Google Web Accelerator, please disable it for this site. This also applies to any other web accelerator software you may installed.
 * If you wish to appeal your block, please see the following section.

Appealing
Your block will expire Indefinently. If you do not wish to wait for your block to expire, you may contact Ceres3 (the blocking administrator) via email to resolve the problem that led to the block. You cannot use the 'email this user' feature unless you have a valid email address registered and confirmed in your user preferences and you have not been blocked from using it. If, after discussing the matter with $1, you still believe your block is unfair, you may appeal the block by requesting that another administrator review your block. To do so, add


 * {&#123;unblock|your reason here&#125;}

to the bottom of your user talk page (which you can edit while blocked, unless it is protected) to request unblocking. Please be aware that abuse of this template will result in protection of that page.

IP blocked?
Unfortunately, each IP address on the Internet does not necessarily map directly to a single person depending upon one's Internet service provider. If your block log (check via my contributions) does not list any current blocks, then your IP address or range has been "hard blocked" due to abuse either by the previous person who was allocated or sharing your IP address.

Please copy-paste the following text to the bottom of your user talk page.


 * {&#123;unblock-auto|1=You|2= Because I told you to read |3=Ceres3}

Do not do this if you were blocked directly; instead, see the "Appealing" section above.

If this problem affects you repeatedly, we encourage you to contact your Internet service provider or IT department and ask them to contact Wikimedia's XFF project about enabling X-Forwarded-For HTTP headers on their proxy servers. This will reduce collateral damage from future autoblocks.

Unregistered?
MediaWiki, the software that Wikipedia runs on, identifies users without an account through their IP address. However, some IPs are shared by many people, and as a result unregistered users are sometimes blocked for the misbehavior of another editor. Since administrators have no way to accurately tell the claims of an innocent user from those of an anonymous vandal, we strongly encourage you to create an account. This gives you your own contribution history, which administrators can use to determine if you are a trustworthy user who has been inadvertently blocked.

Blocks tagged in their reason as "AO" or "AB" have been set to "anonymous-only" meaning only registered users who have logged in can edit from this IP address. If you are currently blocked from creating an account, we suggest the following:
 * Try again after the block on your IP address expires.
 * Create an account at home and then log in at your school or workplace, if you are blocked there.
 * Ask a trusted friend on a different network to create an account for you. Don't forget to change the password when you first access the account.
 * Use Wikimedia's secure server at https://secure.wikimedia.org/, this may bypass your network's proxy server.

See Why create an account? for a full list of benefits that come with registration.

Emailing us
 Due to the high volume of email we receive, you are more likely to get a quick response if you try requesting an unblock via your talk page first.

Before you email us, please make sure your situation has not already been addressed by the above sections. Your talk page may also contain further details related to your block or IP address and we strongly advise that you review it before contacting us.

When sending us an email, please copy-paste and fill out one of these forms.

Help us to help you by copying and using the forms provided. If you don't, the first reply will probably ask you to do so.

Even though emails sent to unblock-en-l mailing list are viewable only by administrators and trusted volunteers, under no circumstances should you email us your account's password or reveal it to anyone else even if asked to. When requesting an account, a temporary password will be generated and emailed to you. Please change the password on your new account as soon as possible.

This list exists for the purpose of reviewing blocks only — any request to make edits to articles on your behalf will be disregarded. Correspondence containing legal threats, personal attacks or rudeness is likely to be ignored and may result in the lengthening of pre-existing blocks.

IMPORTANT: Please do not email us without providing the information requested above. You are wasting your time and ours if you do. [mailto:unblock-en-l@lists.wikimedia.org Click here to contact unblock-en-l]
