Clearing an autoblock
Due to the nature of the block applied we need additional information before we can decide whether to unblock you. It is very likely that you are not personally blocked. If you are prevented from editing, it may be because you are autoblocked or blocked because of your IP address. Without further details there is nothing further we can do to review or lift your block. If you are still autoblocked by the time you read this message, please follow these instructions:


 * 1) If you have a Wikipedia account, please ensure that you are logged in. Your account name will be visible in the top right of this page if you are. If it isn't, try bypassing your web browser's cache.
 * 2) Try to [ edit the Sandbox].
 * 3) Copy the {&#123;unblock-auto&#124;...&#125;} code generated for you under the " IP blocked? " section.
 * 4) Paste the code at the bottom of your user talk page and click save.

If you are not blocked from editing the sandbox then the autoblock on your IP address has already expired and you can resume editing. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 23:32, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Um, did I do it right? No one's responding...


 * We still don't have enough information from this. Please try those instructions again. We particularly need any information about IP addresses or accounts that were blocked, prompting this autoblock. When you've got that, paste it here and take those no-wiki tags away from your unblock request.--Chaser - T 00:50, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Let me just indicate that I was coming here to do the same thing. Given the circumstances of the IP's block, I'm not willing to let anyone edit from that IP address who registered after the block. Additionally, it appears from the whois info that the IP is a private static address (though small libraries may well use Comcast). If it's a library, this is very unfortunate collateral damage (meaning that you are getting blocked because someone else misbehaved using the same IP address at the library). If that is the case, I am very sorry, but we don't have any perfect options in such a situation.--Chaser - T 16:59, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

I doubt you are really all that sorry at all. I've been doing research since yesterday, and I can see you don't care who you block, so long as you can avoid trouble, even if you are the ones at fault. I didn't want to believe it, but the fact you are blocking me is all the proof I need.

Discussion
Did I do it right this time?


 * Hmm. Nevermind, I found it. (Apparently it was a template or formatting error above. Here's the block log for the IP: . Let me think this over.--Chaser - T 00:54, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Can you tell me if you're responsible for these edits?--Chaser - T 00:56, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Nope. Never editted Wiki before. I don't get up to the library and onto a computer all that often.

Any idea how long this will take? I'm unfamiliar with how things work here.


 * Do you have another computer at home or another place to use the internet? I'm disinclined to lift the block on that IP given it's previous issues. I recognize you probably weren't the person responsible for those issues, but unblocking that IP means that person can cause such problems again.--Chaser - T 01:34, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

I do not, I'm afraid. What did that person do? I mean, no offense, but looking through that link, I really don't see anything that would make that person seem bad. No flaming or anything...and it looks like he/she contributed a lot...I've heard of the sockpuppet incident though-that was pretty famous here. Though, you guys come off looking really bad in it...

I should clarify that when I say "here", I don't mean the library-I mean the net. That story is practially famous on the worldwide web! I guess that is what happens when you ban like twenty-some people all over the world and try to claim they are the same person. It's being blogged about all over the place!

Are you still there?


 * Yes. I don't think an unblock is appropriate, but I'm leaving the notice up so another admin can review, as well.--Chaser - T 03:15, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Why isn't an unblock appropriate? I don't get any of this. Why should I be blocked? I didn't do anything wrong...

Man, this is justice for you. You guys really are unfair.StrawberryShorty 02:00, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
