Range block
Hello I've noticed that my IP address has been blocked and so have multiple other IP addresses I have used. I have a dynamic IP address so it changes everyday but each day I have visited Wikipedia to edit articles. I have been met with a block message. I looked at what a range block is and it tells me that a range block can be imposed when multiple similar IP addresses have been engaged in vandalism. From what I have looked at, only one IP address has been involved in vandalism. All of the IP addresses (e.g. 1, 2, 3) I have used have never been involved in vandalism but they have all been blocked. Is there any way to unblock these IP addresses and the one that I'm currently using? (2001:8003:4E46:D000:643A:5D2E:31AB:F89A (talk) 10:31, 19 June 2020 (UTC))
 * The original problem was explained here at ANI. The block is intended to deal with a long-term vandal. Is it inconvenient for you to register an account? EdJohnston (talk) 12:05, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your reply and okay, I understand. In regards to your question, I've been blocked from creating an account too. (2001:8003:4E46:D000:643A:5D2E:31AB:F89A (talk) 12:10, 19 June 2020 (UTC))
 * I changed the block so it should allow account creation. Please try one more time at Special:CreateAccount and I hope it will go through this time. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 17:10, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi - I manage the abuse handling for the ISP in question and the /35 block is getting quite a bit of collateral damage. Our IPv6 range assignments are at the /56 level, which means just 2001:8003:59DB:4100::/56 in this case. From the ANI logs it seems that is where all of the IPv6 issues are focused. If you would consider scoping down from the /35 to the /56 it would help our legitimate customers continue to be a part of the Wikipedia community. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.35.135.165 (talk • contribs)
 * Hello, Australian ISP. The block is only against anonymous editing. Any user from this range is still able to create an account (see Special:CreateAccount) and they should be able to participate normally. If you are willing to create an account yourself you can send me some Wikipedia email. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 16:15, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
