Moffat RFC
Hey Scott. I have added a notability tag to Moffat RFC. This is because I'm unsure that it meets the encyclopaedia's notability guidelines (a summary of these can be found at Notability). The best way to establish that the club is notable is to find multiple (two at minimum) reliable independent sources that give significant coverage of the club. Self-published material won't do, and neither will routine coverage (such as match reports). If there are any books, newspaper or magazine articles that discuss the club they would be appropriate. I appreciate your contributions to wikipedia, but if we can't establish that the club is notable then the article may be nominated for deletion (see Articles for deletion). If you have any questions feel free to contact me on my talk page. -- Shudde  talk 23:15, 27 August 2015 (UTC) \diting from 77.234.43.0/24 has been blocked (disabled) by Callanecc for the following reason(s): Banned proxys.svgThe IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be an open or anonymizing proxy. To prevent abuse, these proxies may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. If you are using an open proxy you will need to turn it off to edit Wikipedia. If you believe you are not running an open proxy, the most likely cause is that another customer using your IP address who was previously assigned this IP address was running an open proxy. You may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: unblock|reason=Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. Place any further information here. 2drscott (talk) 18:32, 19 August 2016 (UTC). If you are using a Wikipedia account and wish to keep your IP address private you can email the functionaries team.

More rarely, your network equipment or that of your service provider may be misconfigured or compromised by malicious software (such as a virus). For more information, see the WikiProject on Open Proxies.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using an open or anonymizing proxies in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block has been set to expire: 01:07, 8 January 2017.

Even if blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page and email other editors and administrators.

As far as I'm aware my IP address is fine I am not doing anything illegal all I did was create a page for my rugby club and its pitch iff there are anything I have missed you need to reveiw how such pages are created or have a more user friendly interface in which to go about it
 * You aren't blocked directly. That means you probably did nothing wrong. If you are unable to edit, we are happy to look into it, but you must provide your IP address or exact block message, so we can find your block. It's nothing personal; it's so that you, not us, are in control of your privacy. There's no reason I should be able to determine your IP address unless you want me to. --Yamla (talk) 16:53, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

To be honest I wouldn't know where to look
 * When you try to edit, you'll get a message indicating you aren't allowed to edit. If you copy and paste that entire block message, that should be enough. Note that this may lead us to telling you to 'disable your VPN' or something, but it should at least give us enough information to figure out which block is affecting you. --Yamla (talk) 17:40, 19 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Right. You are using an open proxy. You are using a cloud-based web accelerator or cloud-based scanner from Avast antivirus. Is this bad? Well, not generally. It's something I'm personally very much against because of the security implications, but the reason you are having problems at Wikipedia is that lots of people use "Avast cloud" to attack and vandalise Wikipedia. So, if you want to edit here, you need to turn off that functionality. As I don't use it, I can't say exactly how you should do this. Be careful; this may be an important part of your malware protection. Then, Wikipedia will see you are editing from your own IP address rather than from Avast's IP address. How can you tell if you've successfully disabled it? Well, if you go to Whatismyip, it'll show your current IP address. Right now, it'll show you are using 77.234.43. . That's Avast's address, that's what's causing problems. If you disable Avast cloud, it'll show a different address, an address where the first three numbers are something else (you don't care about the last one). I say again, though, please be careful. This may be an important part of your malware protection. I don't know and can't say for sure if you will be sufficiently protected against malware if you turn this off. If you are uncertain, I suggest contacting your IT support desk (if at work) or contacting Avast for more information. --Yamla (talk) 19:24, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Appreciate that thanks sorry for wasting your time
 * I hope it was helpful. I'm sorry it took a while to get to this point. I hope you are able to get everything sorted out, and get back to editing! --Yamla (talk) 19:40, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
