 * You don't appear to be directly blocked. What message are you getting when you try to edit? Peridon (talk) 11:34, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Might have been an autoblock - if your IP is dynamic or if you were editing from a public place or hotspot, you might have got one that was used by someone with a real block with autoblock set. These follow the blocked person around, and sometimes people with dynamically assigned IPs get caught in fallout. If you were at home and your IP is fixed, check the security on your router. Amazing how many people have wireless routers that are open to all and sundry. Peridon (talk) 18:50, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

Jamesbwatson is blocking me again with no reason given -- I don't understand Alan Dupree 1879 (talk) 00:09, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Copy the exact message that comes up and post it here. I'll be back in a few hours. Peridon (talk) 12:51, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

 * This account has never been blocked, by me or by anyone else. As Peridon has said, you may have been caught in an autoblock; alternatively, you may have been caught by an IP block. Unless you give us further information about what message you receive when you try to edit, we can't tell what the situation is. There is just one IP range block that I recently placed which would have stopped logged-in accounts from editing, and I have now changed that to an anon-only block. I hope that has solved your problem, but if it hasn't then please post another unblock request, this time giving the details of what the message about the block says.

I have been traveling last few days. The Thanks jamesbwatson for the clarification and Peridon for the help. The block is off again -- next time I will copy the message in the text box -- if it happens again. Alan Dupree 1879 (talk) 21:44, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
