Help me

Mmy account is not blocked but I'm not able to edit. My work requires some travel to countries where Wikipedia may be censored. I am not very tech savvy so I needed a friend's help to get set up and it was working fine until a couple of days ago.Hickoryglaze (talk) 13:46, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please tell the exact message that appears when you attempt to make an edit. If it provides specific instructions on how to request to be unblocked, please follow them. 331dot (talk) 13:48, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I would add that normally, using a VPN or proxy to edit is not permitted. However, if you are in (or frequently in) countries where Wikipedia is restricted, you may be able to request an exemption to this, please read WP:IPBE for more information; you will need to show a specific need. 331dot (talk) 13:50, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A need to edit? Hickoryglaze (talk) 13:52, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As stated at WP:IPBE, "Editing via an anonymous proxy can be easily abused, so it is only granted to trusted users. Examples of editors who may reasonably request an exemption include users who show they can contribute to the encyclopedia, and (for existing users) with a history of valid non-disruptive contribution." 331dot (talk) 13:54, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I understand - I have already made a few contributions. I want to add more to these articles that I think are important and need some attention and I tracked down a source but now I can't edit. It isn't for anything disruptive or controversial ... Hickoryglaze (talk) 14:06, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Then you will need to follow the instructions at WP:IPECPROXY. 331dot (talk) 14:12, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How can I contact a CheckUser directly if I can't edit? Hickoryglaze (talk) 14:15, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please pass my request on to one of the CheckUsers, I will check back in a few days. Hickoryglaze (talk) 14:42, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You should be able to send a Checkuser an email, a list of Checkusers can be found here. You may also use WP:UTRS to request the exemption and a Checkuser will eventually see it. 331dot (talk) 15:05, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This blocked user is asking that their block be reviewed on the Unblock Ticket Request System:

Hickoryglaze (block log • active blocks • global blocks • autoblocks • contribs • deleted contribs • abuse filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

UTRS appeal #25602 was submitted on Jun 15, 2019 16:10:35. This review is now closed.

--UTRSBot (talk) 16:10, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

To reply to your email, there are no specific contributions you need to make. Since an IPBE puts Wikipedia at significant risk, it is only given to trusted users who can show that they have a significant need of it to improve this. I can't speak for the administrator that declined your appeal, but they evidently do not feel you have enough of a contribution history to be trusted with the exemption. It isn't enough to just need one, you need to show why. 331dot (talk) 22:59, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
