Block
Hi there, I'm not an admin but I am from NZ, and as its the middle of the night in the USA AmiDaniel may not get back to you for some time. It seems your block was a casualty of a block placed on the IP address 202.6.138.33, which if I am not mistaken means you use the ISP Adamnet. I've looked over the edits, and AmiDaniel was extremely patient and literally used the block as a last resort. So thats the bad news and I do apologise. The good news however is that the block will be lifted in about 30-40 minutes (about 12:20-12:30pm UTC) Hope this helps clear it up for you anyway. - Gl e n 11:44, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Re: Repeated vandalism... in your dreams!
Hello Mr. Adams, I apologize that you were unable to edit this morning; however, if you'll have a look at your block log, you'll see that neither I nor any other administrator has intentionally blocked your account. As Glen stated above, what happened is that you're likely connected through a shared IP address (Glen indicated that you were connected through 202.6.138.33, which is an Adamnet IP--I have no way verifying this for certain) and someone connected through that IP was vandalizing. By blocking the IP address, it then blocked all users, logged-in or not, from editing through this IP, which resulted in the collateral damage that was your being unable to edit. This is an unfortunate mishap that often occurs when blocking IP addresses, and currently there is no way to prevent such collateral damage from occurring (although a temporary fix is in the works). If this ever occurs again, please add to your talk page, along with the full text of the block message, who blocked you, and your IP address, and the block will be removed as soon as possible. Also if you can get back to me with your IP address (check my log or try logging out and signing with somewhere if you are unsure what your IP address is), I will attempt to take preventitive measures to keep you from being blocked in the future. Thanks for your understanding, and feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need help with anything else. AmiDaniel (talk) 21:17, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
