From Free net encyclopedia


Image:Stop hand.svg 		Your user name or IP address has been blocked from editing.
You were blocked by $1 for the following reason (see our blocking policy):
"$2"

Your IP address is $3.


You are not blocked from reading pages, only from editing them. If you were only intending to read a page and are seeing this message, you probably followed a red link. These are links to pages that do not exist, so they take users to an editing screen. You should have no problem if you follow only blue links.

If you would like to know when the block will expire, please search for your name or IP on the block list.

If the reason given is "username", "user...", or "contact an administrator for verification purposes", then you or someone with whom you share an IP address has most likely been blocked for choosing an inappropriate or suspicious username. Please read our username policy for more information. If you do not feel that the name is inappropriate, or if the name was registered by somebody other than yourself, please contact the blocking administrator, as described below.

Innocent?

Sometimes IP ranges or shared proxies are blocked from editing Wikipedia. This means that innocent people sometimes can't edit. If this is the case, it should be explained in the reason given above.

Also, some individual dynamic IP addresses may be blocked, usually for a 24 hour period. Occasionally, users with dynamic IPs will be blocked accidentally, due to that fact that their present IP was previously used by a blocked user.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. If this problem affects you repeatedly, and you would like to help us resolve this issue, you will need to contact a Wikipedia administrator and your internet service provider (ISP). The administrator should be able to obtain the time, date, and IP address used for the inappropriate behaviour in question, and describe what the problem was. You can then pass this information on to your ISP, explaining that you are unable to edit Wikipedia due to the inappropriate actions of another person using this ISP, and ask them to remedy the problem.

What to do next

Your IP address is $3. Please include this address, along with your username (if you are a registered user), in any queries you make.

You can email $4 or one of the other administrators to discuss the block. You may also add "{{unblock}}" to your user talk page (which you can edit even while blocked, unless it is protected) to request unblocking. If you believe that our blocking policy was violated, you may discuss the block publicly on the WikiEN-l mailing list.

Note that you may not use the "email this user" feature unless you have a Wikipedia account and a valid email address registered in your user preferences.

If you need to see the wiki text of an article, you may wish to use the Export pages feature or download the Template:FULLPAGENAME|action=raw}} raw wikitext.
