You will need to let us know what IP address is involved, otherwise we have no way of unblocking it. The message you get when you try to edit should give you instructions on how to request an unblock of an IP address. JamesBWatson (talk) 20:27, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

This is an exact copy and paste of what it says:

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be an open proxy. To prevent abuse, these proxies may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. If you believe you are not running an open proxy, the most likely cause is that another customer from your ISP who was previously assigned this IP address was running an open proxy. If this is the case, please request to be unblocked using the unblock template, or request administrator attention using admin! and indicate you are caught by an open proxy block. More rarely, your network equipment or that of your service provider may be misconfigured or compromised by malicious software (such as a virus). In some cases, this can be remedied by logging into the secure server. For more information, see the Wikiproject on Open Proxies and Wikipedia:Open proxies. (Sandbox test edit)


 * Go to http://www.whatismyip.com, which will tell you your IP address. You can then post that IP address here, so that we can check it. (Alternatively, if you don't want to make your IP address public, you can email it to me. To do that, you need to first enable Wikipedia email, which you do by clicking "preferences" at the top of the page, and following the instructions there. Then, whenever you look at the user page or user talk page of another user with email enabled, in the "Toolbox" at the left hand side of the page there will be an "Email this user" link.) Sorry about the delay in getting this sorted out: I hope you don't have to wait too long. JamesBWatson (talk) 08:29, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
