User talk:Emansisongarcia

Hello, Good Day! I was logging into my newly created account (Created August 6, 2018) when I got a message that I was blocked. The error on my account was: "LTA, prolific socker". I am currently writing a page about a musician/artist, who is my friend. This is a message requesting if you could kindly unblock me. I am not sure what I did wrong, but if anyone could kindly point it out to me, I will gladly rectify the error. I think LTA meant "Long Time Abuse". However, as of this writing, my account is not yet even active for longer than 24 hours. :) Thank you very much in advance.

 * I'm not seeing a block on this username. You also edited your sandbox, which would not be allowed if you were blocked.  However, if you still are unable to edit, please copy and paste the message that appears when you attempt to edit. 331dot (talk) 13:38, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

331dot Hello! Thank you for the prompt response. The following message appears when I try to edit the article on my sandbox:

You are currently unable to edit Wikipedia. You are still able to view pages, but you are not currently able to edit, move, or create them. Editing from 112.208.128.0/17 has been blocked (disabled) by Drmies for the following reason(s): LTA, prolific socker This block has been set to expire: 01:38, 26 September 2018. Even if blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page and email other editors and administrators.
 * Okay, it would seem that the IP address range you are using was blocked due to severe long term abuse (LTA), or vandalism, from IP addresses in the range(most likely the same person using a floating IP). It was persistent which is why it is necessary to block the range.  If you know nothing about this, you are unfortunately collateral damage.  Did you make your prior sandbox edits at a different physical location? If so, you should probably return to that location and only edit from there.  You can request an IP block exemption, but those are only granted in rare cases where a user demonstrates a particular need and/or can show they contribute significantly to Wikipedia. I'll leave this open for others with more experience than I to examine, but that's what I can tell at this time. 331dot (talk) 13:53, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

331dot You are correct. I opened this account from a different physical location, which is my office around 15 miles away from home. I am currently at home right now, logged in on a different network and a different Internet Service Provider (ISP). I believe that my home IP Address is dynamic, due to the nature of my internet subscription, which probably explains why I got this problem. I hope your more senior administrators could look into this soon. I really believe I could, to the best of my abilities, contribute to this community, although I am still just learning the ropes and trying the different tools of this site. Thank you very much for your prompt response and here's hoping for a favorable outcome from the rest of the senior admins.
 * - are you able to take a look at this rangeblock. Is there anything we can do to adjust due to collateral, or issue IPBE? SQL Query me!  01:54, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
 * , checked the range a few days ago. I'd have to look again and I'm afraid of overloading my CU log; ArbCom may start questioning me. :)  may know more as well. Anyway, the sockmaster is an incredible nuisance. We could unblock the range, of course; if I remember correctly it comes in waves. In other words, I don't want collateral damage, but maybe DoRD or Rob13 have something useful to add, more useful than my wishy-washy comments. Hey Emansisongarcia, how are you doing? We're on the case. Sorry for the inconvenience. Drmies (talk) 02:18, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

Drmies Thank you very much for everyone's help. I'm at the office right now and I'm not having any problems at all. I guess I'll just have to do my editing stuff here (after work hours, of course) while waiting for the admins to sort things out. I really appreciate everyone's efforts regarding this matter. Cheers to everyone!


 * Apart from the block problem, if you are writing about your friend then you should read the guideline on conflict of interest. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 13:16, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

JamesBWatson Hello! Thanks for the heads up. The article I am writing is a professional article about the bio of a local artist whom I personally know. As far as I know, I did not make any "judgement about that person's opinions, integrity, or good faith". I am not also getting paid by this person for doing it. The local music industry in the Philippines is relatively small. Almost everyone in the industry, artists, producers, writers etc. are in one way or another acquainted with each other. This article is being written to provide additional information about this artist for the rest of the online community. I will leave this up to the administrators to judge whether a COI really has a bearing on this article. Thank you very much.


 * For what it's worth, is an administrator.  SQL Query me!  00:51, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
