 * Sure. Ask me if you want any help. :) Queenie  18:57, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Help! I've been blocked and I don't know why!!

IP block exempt
I have granted your account an exemption from IP blocking. This will allow you to edit through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in.

Please read the page IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions.

Note in particular that you are not permitted to use this newly-granted right to edit Wikipedia via anonymous proxies, or disruptively. If you do, or there is a serious concern of abuse, then the right may be removed by any administrator.

Appropriate usage and compliance with the policy may be checked periodically, due to the nature of block exemption, and block exemption will be removed when no longer needed (for example, when the block it is related to expires).

I hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit successfully and without disruption. User:FT2 (talk) 07:27, 7 November 2013 (UTC) FT2 (Talk 13:46, 19 March 2009 (UTC) Thank you for this. Please can you explain what Mango meant by "lack of mainspace edits"? I don't feel that my knowledge extends to editing pages yet!--TammyMoet (talk) 14:10, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

re.
Don't worry about it, the same thing happened to me (see my archives). If someone gets blocked for vandalism, their account is checkusered to see what computer IP that account came from, and to see what other Wikipedia accounts run from that IP. Whoever did that vandalism on your computer [I'm sure it wasn't you] got blocked, and they checkusered that IP and your account came up. There's no need to worry about it now it's over. And about Mango's "not enough mainspace edits" - if you have more editing experience, people will trust you more. Ease yourself in gently - maybe start off with fixing things in articles about things that interest you, then maybe try help clearing WP:BACKLOG - not everybody has to make big, magnificent edits and have ten million FAs to their name. I certainly don't. ;) You can also fight vandalism - that's really helpful. Then, maybe once you have a thousand or so edits, apply for rollback, which really helps revert vandalism. Don't feel rushed, take things at your own pace, at your own time. After all, everybody has to start somewhere. ;) Queenie  18:16, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Re blocks
I noticed your block a while ago while looking at the list of unblock requests but wasn't sure what to do about it (hey, even us admins don't know everything &#9786;). One thing Queenie didn't mention was that what you were caught by was what's known as a "rangeblock". Under some circumstances a whole range of IP addresses may be blocked - sometimes (as in your case) bona fide editors who happen to be in that range are blocked as they just happen to be in the range that's blocked. This is known around here as collateral damage. This in no way reflects on you, and will have nothing to do with edits made on your computer, or by your account. Queenie's giving you good advice above, so I'll bow out - give me a shout on my talkpage if you want. Cheers, Tonywalton Talk 00:19, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Unblock IP request
Many apologies for having to ask this again, but we had to reboot the server and it appears that our IP address is part of a blocked range. We suspect that it's because our ISP is Tiscali. --TammyMoet (talk) 19:47, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Commendation!

 * Thank you very much! I worried about what I could have used instead of "English" last night, but came to the conclusion that, because I didn't have any evidence when I posted that it wasn't English, then English was appropriate. Bless you! --TammyMoet (talk) 11:34, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Because I myself work in period-specific translations for an archive, I deal a lot with nomenclature of warring sides and related matters of POV and the often-ridiculed political correctness. Besides, I appreciate when editors come back and clarify, something I do too. I wish this were a practice more honored in the commission than the breach – not to mention editors whom I wish would think before they posted...! -- Cheers, Deborahjay (talk) 12:48, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

No offence intended
My question at Ref Desk Humanities was not made with the intention of offending British editors, especially those who had relations who served in the British Armed Forces during WWII. Reading your comment, it appears your father had fought in the war. I apologise if my question and comments regarding Churchill caused offence. They were directed solely against Churchill, not against the RAF, other branches of the British military, or British civilians who lost their lives in the Luftwaffe aerial bombings.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:50, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, my father was in the RAF. My family were victims of the Coventry Blitz. So I guess the subject is a bit of a "red rag" to me! I'm not offended by it, but the other thing you must remember is that Churchill did not fight the war single-handedly. I have heard (and there is more public support for) that Bomber Harris, whose idea it was to bomb Dresden into submission, should have been the one on trial, and personally I would not argue with that. So if you want to put Churchill on trial, you should be looking really at putting everyone else responsible for those raids on trial - even those who were "only following orders", just as happened at Nuremberg. --TammyMoet (talk) 09:51, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry about your family having been victims at Coventry. It's easy to let emotion get in the way as to me both world wars were a carnage and slaughter that could have been avoided. As a fighting unit, the RAF were definitely superior to the Luftwaffe, and the film, The Battle of Britain always brings tears to my eyes. The problem with wars is that the financiers and politicians who make the wars in the first place stay home and the normal people go out and fight and die. The politicians eventually make peace but for the grieving there is no peace. I suppose you are right about Bomber Harris having been the culprit. Once again, I'm sorry I brought up painful memories for you by my question.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 11:25, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Law & Order SVU SEASON 9 EPISODE UNDERCOVER
Hello, my name's Sean. How are you doing? I'm new to wikipedia. Is it okay for me to post this message on your wikipedia talk page? Have you seen the Episode called Undercover?

In the Episode Undercover, Lowell Harris is trying to rape Olivia, but Fin manages to save Olivia's life. Fin manages to arrest Harris. In the Interrogation room, Harris's Defense Attorney shows up.

Olivia says, "Harris tried to rape me."

Harris lies, "I wasn't trying to rape Olivia." Does Harris's Defense Attorney believe that Harris was trying to rape Olivia? Since I think that Harris's Defense Attorney is evil, I also think that Harris gave a lot of money to his Defense Attorney. Is Harris's Defense Attorney evil? Did Harris give a lot of money to his Defense Attorney? Does Harris's Defense Attorney want to show fake evidence proving that Harris wasn't trying to rape Olivia?(Sean Archer123 (talk) 07:18, 20 September 2011 (UTC)).

Your user talk page
Hi Tammy, I noticed your post at WT:RD about getting unwanted questions here. No you cannot "block" an editor from your page in the technical sense, but that doesn't mean you have to accept anything and everything that gets posted here. The relevant wording is here in the third sentence, which does read a little vague. Basically, just ask the editor clearly not to post on your talk page. If they continue to do so, contact me or another active admin. These kind of things are judged on their merits, for instance if someone is posting clearly project-related messages and you have a rule against anyone with an "R" in their username posting, not much will be done. In this case though, the editor is clearly not aiming to improve the project in any way. If you don't want to receive these messages then they will be asked to stop, then told to stop, then blocked if necessary. Franamax (talk) 19:35, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Citations- how to
Lots of helpful (if technical) information at WP:CITE.

The easiest way to add citations is to use the Cite link at the top of the edit box (next to the help link). If you click it, it opens out another toolbar immediately below. On the left is a box marked "Templates". Put the cursor where you want the reference, click the down arrow in the templates box, and pick whether you are citing a website, a book, a newspaper or a journal. It pops up a form to fill in - fill it in and click Insert and it puts a formatted citation in where the cursor is. If you are going to refer to that source more than once in the article, on of the boxes asks for a name for the reference (you can call it something helpful eg the author's name or the book/newspaper name). Then, the next time you want to refer to that source in the article, click the little checklist sign next to "Named References" and it'll pop up a box with the name you gave the reference. Give me a shout if you any of that doesn't make sense. If you want to test it, click on User:TammyMoet/Sandbox and give it a try.--Elen of the Roads (talk) 23:12, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

If you can't see the Cite link, click on MY PREFERENCES and go into EDITING. Select SHOW EDIT TOOLBAR and also the ENHANCED EDITING TOOLBAR and the DIALOGS under Usability features. --Elen of the Roads (talk) 23:17, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

hi
thanks for your response regarding a patent agent on the reference desk. however I am not really ready to file for a patent and would like to find more a partner to help evaluate ideas with. do you have any advice on how to find such a person? (or if you yourself are one.) Of course I also lack funding (i.e. am very poor foreigner) but the patent costs are low in dollars. Mostly I am looking for the evaluation partner. Thanks Tammmy!

 * It all depends on where you are. If you are in the UK I'd recommend you consult your local Chamber of Commerce. If you're not in the UK, then maybe you can find a similar organisation where you live. Good luck. --TammyMoet (talk) 15:55, 24 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi Tammy, I'm reading the reply here so you don't have to cross-post it. I am living in a poor country with no real way to find an appropriate local person, as there is almost 0 economy for this here.  I would like to team up with someone in a better country who has time and resources to collaborate with me.  Do you think I can write to British or American people?  How do I find the right one?

 * I am temporarily in Hungary which is a very poor Eastern European country. I have some distant family here.  My family's background is very poor but educated (unfortunately in mathematics, which is very poorly paid and not connected with any form of capital).

Ranbir.84.3.160.86 (talk) 09:51, 25 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Hungary is a member of the EU. I think what you need to do is investigate the business support provisions in Hungary. Before you say "I want technical input not business input", you need both. In the UK, the Chamber of Commerce would be the starting point for both inputs. Some of the links on this page will be of benefit to you (you have to scroll down).

There's no record of a report on you at the edit-war noticeboard, and I can't see any evidence in your recent history that you have been involved in an edit war - for that matter, I can't find a record of you being warned, either.

Hi TammyMoet, per your query of me concerning "sectarianism" on the Humanties Reference Desk I would hope that in the future WP:AGF may be allowed since I see that your edit above that and seeming in response to μηδείς was described by you as "STFU".

RE: Early Christian festival query on Refdesk
Hi Tammy

I was going to put in a link to our article Jewish Christians, with the explanation that you were probably already familiar with this but that it might be useful background for other readers. However, as that RD is currently semi-protected, I couldn't, so I thought I'd mention it here instead. Look forward to more informed answers, as Jewish/Early Christian history is a topic that interests me (as someone with a little Jewish descent who became a Christian atheist around 10 years old and is now following the Wiccan path :-) ). {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 185.74.232.130 (talk) 18:10, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
