Blocked

CheckUser evidence has determined that this IP address (or network) has been used abusively. This address (or network) has been blocked temporarily or permanently to prevent further abuse. In extreme cases, an entire network may be blocked to prevent an abusive user from continually changing their IP address in order to evade blocks or abusing multiple accounts. If you are a registered user and are seeing this message, please follow these instructions. This IP or range is registered to Synetrix Holdings Limited, a company that provides ICnternet connectivity to the London Grid for Learning, covering school and other public sector locations in the UK. Individual IPs may belong to one school or may be shared by several schools. This IP range is the site of repeated abusive vandalism attacks. Attempts to stop the vandalism by blocking anonymous editing and account creation have been unsuccessful, as the vandal uses alternate locations to create accounts and then vandalizes from here. We are aware that the IPs are shared. However, whenever the IP addresses involved are unblocked, the majority of all edits is vandalism. This has necessitated the blocking of the entire range. We want to block this vandal while impacting as few good users as possible. The following steps will help you to edit. Users who created their accounts before July 15, 2008 may request an IP block exemption by posting an unblock request to your user talk page. New users may request an account via this web site or by email. You must provide an email address issued to you by your internet provider or school so that we may verify that you are a legitimate user. Free email accounts (like Yahoo! mail, Google mail, or AOL) are easily obtained and abused and requests from such addresses will not be honored. You may be asked to edit only from home for a week or two to establish a history of good contributions before being granted the IP block exemption to allow you to edit from school. This is to reduce the likelihood of granting the exemption to the vandal. Administrators are advised to contact a checkuser when in doubt about granting the exemption. If it is possible to determine the identity of the vandal and restrict this person's computer access, the block could be lifted. An appropriate authority (School Headmaster, Synetrix IT department, etc) should contact Wikimedia Foundation attorney Mike Godwin using the contact information provided to begin inquiries. Users may wish to contact their school's network administrator about this situation. Administrators: IP Block Exemption may be granted without checkuser verification to any account in good standing that was created before July 15, 2008. IP Block Exemption should only be granted to new users if they have provided a non-free, non-trivial e-mail address, and a checkuser should be contacted for follow-up. Checkusers are privy to confidential system logs not accessible to the public or administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy, and therefore must be consulted before this block can be removed.

This blocked user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:

What the fuck? Let's block every school in London, for a year. Only it's not just every school, it's certain libraries too - such as Croydon. And it's not just anons, but registered users too. So even though my account has thousands of edits, and has been active since 2005, I cannot edit.
And why is that? Because some London school kid was the "Avril Lavigne vandal". I don't even know what that vandal did, but unless it was the reincarnation of WoW, this is overkill. Fucking Avril Lavigne, who gives a shit? Her bio is going to be watched by hundreds of adoring fans and BLP fetishists anyway. Unblock this account, and all those listed here. Yes, you're going to get vandalism coming from this address, but just killing write access for thousands isn't the answer.

Decline reason:

If you are not willing to give us the information about your account so we can help you, then you are not going to be able to edit from school. This IP will remain blocked. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 14:37, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first and then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you abuse this procedure by making too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page as long as you are blocked.

• What is your account name? We can add IP block exemption to it. –xeno^talk 14:28, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
  • I do not think that my account matters, and I don't want it tied to a location. What matters is that whoever the "Avril Lavigne vandal" is, will no longer give a crap about Wikipedia, and that this block is unsuitable. Block anon-editing? Maybe. Enable only auto-confirmed users? Maybe. Killing all write access? For a year? No. - 82.198.250.66 (talk) 14:34, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
    • IPBlockExemption won't tie your account to one location any more than editing with your account does. It merely means that you will be able to edit through hardblocks when logged-in, regardless of where you edit from. -Jeremy ^{(v^_^v Cardmaker)} 18:39, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
    • I don't necessarily agree with it, and I think it's heavy-handed, but apparently it was necessary. These blocks expire in August. You don't have to tie yourself to a location if you request unblocking from your user talk page and note you've been caught up in a hard block. At that point, you can protest the LGFL blocks at WP:AN –xeno^talk 14:36, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
      • If you're not going to unblock this range, can you post this at AN for me now? I'm pretty sure other admins would see that it wasn't particularly "necessary". - 82.198.250.66 (talk) 14:41, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
        • Yes, but can you compose something a little more civil? –xeno^talk 15:29, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Due to persistent vandalism (see edit log), anonymous editing from your school, library, or educational institution's IP address may be disabled. You will continue to have access to read the encyclopedia. If you are logged in but still unable to edit, please follow these instructions. To prevent abuse, account creation via this IP address might also be disabled.
