It's hard to check this without knowing your previous username or your ip address. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 12:36, 19 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Neither the username nor the IP appear to be blocked. What message do you get when you try to edit? JohnCD (talk) 13:23, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

I get this message, John ...

You are currently unable to edit pages on Wikipedia due to an autoblock affecting your IP address.

This is because someone using this internet address or shared proxy server was blocked. The ability of all users on this IP address to edit pages has been automatically suspended to prevent abuse by the blocked party. Innocent users are sometimes caught in an autoblock. It may be the case that you have done nothing wrong.

A user of this IP address was blocked by Daniel Case for the following reason (see our blocking policy): Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "Solofellated". The reason given for Solofellated's block is: " Stop x nuvola.svg Your account has been blocked indefinitely because it has become apparent that it is being used only for vandalism. Furthermore, your username is a blatant violation of our username policy, meaning that it is profane; threatens, attacks or impersonates another person; or suggests that your intention is not to contribute to the encyclopedia (see our blocking and username policies for more information). We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia, but users are not allowed to edit with inappropriate usernames, and trolling or other disruptive behavior is not tolerated. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. ".

This block has been set to expire: 03:18, 20 September 2010.

Note that you have not been blocked from editing directly. Most likely your computer is on a shared network with other people. What does this mean?

As on many websites, Wikipedia administrators occasionally block accounts and IP ranges that are deemed responsible for or related to problematic activity. You may be an innocent victim of collateral damage, whereby a block of some other activity has accidentally caused your account to be unable to edit pages. If your editing access has been blocked by mistake, it will be reactivated very quickly, as soon as you let an administrator know of the problem. The box above gives the information you will need.

What is a block? A block is a measure used to protect Wikipedia from possible improper use, or modification in breach of editorial policies. Once blocks are over, they become history unless problems recur. Blocks can apply to a user account, an IP, or a range of IPs. A number of automated features identify unblocked usage which apparently should be blocked; these are known as autoblocks and can be quickly rectified if incorrect. Most common cause of an autoblock Your IP matches that used by another blocked account, or the software believes your account or IP is connected to another blocked account. Ask for further information and/or request unblocking. Due to the nature of some Internet service providers, automatic blocks may inadvertently affect people other than the person whose account was blocked.

So, to summarize, you used to edit as but were blocked for vandalism, and now you wish to continue under a slightly modified name. Favonian (talk) 14:01, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
