Blocking you
Thanks for your note, but you seem to be somewhat confused as to the situation. If I blocked you, you would not be able to edit any articles. What has happened is that I have blocked someone else and as a result of the way the mediawiki software works and the way ISP use proxy servers you have been impacted as collateral damage. You can see a copy of the text you get when blocked here, which has a section entitled "Innocent?" which explains this situation. The details of the block would have also contained the word autoblocked, with autoblocks being explained by following that link, this also explains some of your situation. Additionally from the description you give, you sound very much like an AOL user, AOL uses a proxying system which means your edits can appear to come from different addresses from edit to edit, this has the effect that you can apparently edit some pages, whereas others are blocked to you. Again the blocked message I pointed out above has a section "	Editing from America Online?" which points you to Advice to AOL users.

If you had read the information presented to you it would be readily apparent that I am not accusing you of anything, and that the blocks impacting you are not directed at you personally, nor would I have known that they would affect you. I suggest you read some of that information now. I also suggest you read "assume good faith".

Completely unrelated to that when you add messages to talk pages it is normal to add at the bottom of the page. Next to the "edit this page" tab at the top of the page is a small tab "+", pressing this will bring up an edit box specifically to create a new section at the bottom of the page and is a quick way of adding new topics to a talk page.

I also notice you don't have a welcome message, so I've added one below.

Thanks --pgk( talk ) 06:19, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
