 * Block is anon-only -- you should be able to edit while logged in. If you continue to have any problems, try clearing your browser cache or editing a page like the sandbox, where you haven't visited, before. Let us know if you have any problems, either through the or / templates. Thanks. Luna Santin 22:15, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd actually just reset Dmcdevit's block as 'anon only' so it may have been a bigger problem earlier. --CBD 22:19, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

 * We've reinstituted the block on most T-Mobile Hotsspots. You will not be able to edit form those Hotspots as long as we maintain this block. To request the block be lifted, follow the instructions on the block page. We can tell you that this block was due to the Cplot sockpuppets. You can learn more about Cplot and the Cplot sockpuppets at the administrator's noticeboard. This is one of the more severe blocks for Cplot sockpuppets. Dmcdevit has been the most diligent in trying to stop the sockpuppets with these blocks: T-Mobile, SprintPCS, SprintPCS, T-Mobile Hotspots, T-Mobile Hotspots, Most of the over 9,000 T-Mobile Hotspots share these few IPs. A group of T-Mobile based Wikipedia editors tried to raise awareness about this issue, but it's been suppressed by a lot of admins (not sure why). Everyone who chose SprintPCS as their ISP was completely blocked by those two SprintPCS blocks. Essjay blocked another WiFi hotspot for six moths to stop Cplot sockpuppets. Centrx also blocked another major corporation WAN for three years (it's not really an openproxy and Centrx knows that, but I think Centrx feels it's useful as retaliation against Cplot) to get back at the Cplot sockpuppets. Naconkantari blocked this IP for one year also to stop Cplot sockpuppets. The Cplot sockpuppets may bring about the end of civilian editing at Wikipedia. None of this seems to have slowed down the Cplot sockpuppets yet, but if the administrators and checkuser sysops remain diligent, I think we'll eventually get them. I hope this helps you understand the pressing need for Wikipedia to block you from editing under these circumstances. --TheGreatWhiteWales 03:32, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
