I can't find any block on this IP address. Can you post a copy of the exact message you see when you try to edit, telling you about the block? JBW (talk) 20:26, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

Yep, below is a screenshot of the entire message. I've put it in quotations:

"Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong. The IP address or range 185.219.140.0/23 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪SQL‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN. We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in. If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: { {unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. 2601:603:F7F:CB52:1466:12C0:8C9E:4608 (talk) 22:42, 9 September 2023 (UTC)}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

This block will expire on 16:39, 23 April 2025."


 * The IP address from which you have posted is completely unrelated to the range covered in the block notice. One is based in Sweden, and the other in the United States. Presumably you are trying to edit through some kind of proxy or webhost, which results in your IP address being translated into another one. If so, perhaps you can disable the proxy or webhost connection to edit Wikipedia. I will leave your unblock request open, in case an administrator with more technical knowledge can offer any other solution, but I think it's more likely that there is no other solution.
