Request for IP address unblock
Re: Appealing_a_block

Greetings! I am connecting here from my home network via Hurricane Electric Free IPv6 Tunnel Broker (he.net / tunnelbroker.net).

is blocked (ST47) as "believed to be an open or anonymizing proxy, such as a VPN service". Similarly is  ("web host provider or colocation provider").

If it is considered safe to do so, please can these blocks be "softened", for users connecting via he.net.

As well, please can exceptions (exemptions) be made for the following subnets for which I am responsible ("Routed IPv6 Prefixes"): As I am responsible for these three routed prefixes, I have placed TXT records today under the respective domains (rDNS); viewable from the command-line with dig: dig txt +short _wikimedia.8.3.a.8.0.7.4.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa dig txt +short _wikipedia.2.6.4.0.7.0.f.1.0.7.4.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa dig txt +short _mediawiki.3.7.1.0.7.0.f.1.0.7.4.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa

Thank you SQL for the response (explanation). Thanks also to GeneralNotability, Victor Schmidt and The Blade of the Northern Lights for reverting imposter edits, and Zzuuzz for enabling protection; as I see this kind of request attracts unwanted activity.

I see now exemption is account-based. I would like to arrange the IPv6 prefix assignments in some way that could be amenable to whitelisting, perhaps for others on HE.net as well, if that is possible. For now I am requesting IP block exemption for my account as mentioned.

I see now 2001:470:8000::/33 is reduced to softblock (Thanks GeneralNotability!) and 2001:470:1000::/36 was already at softblock. So I don't think my account needs IP block exemption now. Clehner~enwiki (talk) 07:44, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Clehner. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Clehner~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:09, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information.
