Block message:

CheckUser evidence has determined that the IP address or network of your account has been used (not necessarily by you) to disrupt Wikipedia. It has been blocked from editing to prevent further abuse. If you get this message, please read the following information.

Wikipedia tries to be open, but we sometimes must block a range of IP addresses or entire network, to prevent editing by abusers, vandals, or block evaders. These "range blocks" can affect users who have done nothing wrong. If you are a legitimate user, follow the instructions below to edit despite the block. Users who are the intended target of a range block may still appeal the block. IP users (without an account): If you do not currently have a account and wish to bypass this block, an account can be created to allow you to edit. Please use this form or e-mail us at unblock-en-llists.wikimedia.org (you will be unable to copy the "@" from this sentence) to request an account under your preferred username. It is important that you use an e-mail address issued to you by your ISP, school, or organisation, so we may verify that you are a legitimate user. If using the form, please refer to this block under "comments". If e-mailing, please refer to this block in your message. Registered users (with an account): If you already have an account in good standing, please follow these instructions. You may also request IP block exemption to bypass blocks unconnected with you that affect your editing. Post an unblock request to your user talk page. Administrators: CheckUsers are privy to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy. You must not amend or remove this block without consulting a CheckUser. Administrators who undo checkuser blocks without permission from a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee may be summarily desysopped, per this notice.

Decline reason:

We're not unblocking a range used by a prolific vandal. Creating an account for yourself will allow you to get around the issue. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:14, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

The IP address that has been blocked belongs to a large organisation with many staff. I consider it to be excessive to block logged in users as well as anonymous users in this case as the organisation is not a school and many staff such as myself may want to view (and edit) pages in their lunch hour.

I did create an account for myself, all editing from this IP including for logged in members is banned. That was the point of this requst if you'd bothered to read it- for logged in to be allowed while anon. from the IP remains banned, as is usual in this situation Spugmeister (talk) 14:08, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
