IP unblock request
Hi CtrlS Datacenters, the IP you refer to is registered to CtrlS Datacenters which is a webhost provider and is blocked from editing Wikipedia. I see you used two other IP addresses the last time you edited (in August), if you can't disconnect from the webhost (CtrlS Datacenters) could you edit with those IP addresses instead?

 * Hi Callanec, thanks for taking this. Actually this user was one my trainees from an edit-a-thon conducted by me. The previous edits done by user were during the training session, which happened at an educational institution. However, the user reached out me on the issue of not being able to edit from home. So I suggested to place a request, and have just seen this. Is there any possibility that account may be granted IPBE flag? For your reference the user's participation in the edit-a-thon can be confirmed here. Looking forward to hear from you.

 * Generally the granting of IPBE to accounts to use through proxies or webhosts is only done in exceptional circumstances. Instead Sailekya needs to disconnect from their webhost and edit from home that way. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 08:04, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for the reply. But I don't get what do you mean by to disconnect from the webhost. Is there any procedure to do that? I am afraid that, in India, the end user (like User:Sailkeya) has no choice of webhost, but it depends on the internet service provider Sailekya uses.

 * Looking at this it appears that this IP range is being used by CtrlS Datacenters which is a Web hosting service. Open or anonymising proxies, including web hosting services, are blocked from editing Wikipedia. While this may affect legitimate users, they are not the intended targets. Although Wikipedia encourages anyone in the world to contribute, open proxies and webhosts are often used abusively. MediaWiki, the wiki software that powers Wikipedia, depends on IP addresses for administrator intervention against abuse, especially by anonymous users. Anonymizing services allow malicious users to rapidly change and disguise IP addresses, causing continuous disruption that cannot be stopped by administrators. Several such attacks have occurred on Wikimedia projects, causing disruption and occupying administrators who would otherwise deal with other concerns.
 * Next question for Sailekya is whether they have created any other accounts, apart from this one, and if so, what are usernames are of those accounts (or account). Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 11:20, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Due to some misunderstanding I created another account so that I could edit Wikipedia, the username is "Sailekya_Sheral", but didn't use account after I am came to know about the single-account policy. Sailekya Sheral 14:22, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for helping out. As the user has confirmed that a second account was created with the user name "Sailekya Sheral", I think we need to block that. Just saying, I am not sure about this. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk &bull;&#32;mail) 09:14, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I've added a note to both userpages disclosing the connection, policy doesn't require them to be blocked if the accounts are disclosed. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 05:08, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
