 * I'll take a look, but blocking doesn't stop you viewing pages. --pgk( talk ) 22:14, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
 * The IP you've given also isn't directly blocked, you need to give us the details of the block message as it is likely an autoblock --pgk( talk ) 22:16, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank for taking your time, pgk. the page im trying to view are blocked. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_National_Dream:_Building_the_Impossible_Railway&action=edit I only want to view for my english essay, not to edit. the blockage possibility blamed to other student using the same network. [FYI... the blockage are referring to the school network under 3500 Students.]


 * There is no such page with that name, hence it thinks you are trying to create it and you get the block message. --pgk( talk ) 22:22, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

The blockage occured at: Your user name or IP address has been blocked from editing. You were blocked by Jimfbleak for the following reason (see our blocking policy): "vandal" Your IP address is 64.7.152.18 Im trying to view in http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_National_Dream:_Building_the_Impossible_Railway&action=edit. Please check it out.


 * I've checked it, there is no such article with that name, there never has been either. --pgk( talk ) 22:27, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Ah, ok, take a look at this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Cornelius_Van_Horne. Please scroll down and find the The National Dream: Building the Impossible Railway.COMMODORE64 22:29, 24 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes that link is in red, red links indicate that the article doesn't yet exist. --pgk( talk ) 22:34, 24 April 2006 (UTC)


 * See Help:Link "MediaWiki automatically checks if the target of a wikilink exists. If the page doesn't exist, the link leads to the editing screen, and it is assigned the class "new". Such wikilinks are nicknamed "red links" because they are coloured red in the default stylesheet on a default installation of MediaWiki. Red links are useful in determining the current status of the page (created or not created), create incoming links to a future page, facilitates and incites page creation." --pgk( talk ) 22:36, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Then why it block me from editing? Please check if it can be unblocked before may 12? Thanks for helping me :) COMMODORE64 22:39, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
 * The IP you've given is blocked legitimately for vandalism (although perhaps one month was too long, but I defer to the blocking admin's judgement). I recommend you use another IP to edit from. You are not blocked from visiting pages, but as others have mentioned above, going to a page that doesn't exist will trigger the blocked message.
 * Note also that if you login while using a blocked IP, you may also be autoblocked for up to 24 hours. Stifle (talk) 13:43, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Understood. I have a another access is which at home. I will use it for editing or viewing page. Thanks for clarifying with me. The blocked ip is belonged to my school, herefore it cannot be changed. Don't worry. :) COMMODORE64 14:00, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
