Sorry aobut not signing - I know now! Guess it just did not sink in when I was trying to read about editing. Looks like system caught my name anyhow. Shall I re-write or just leave it? A cowgirl (talk) 18:32, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

You can just leave it; that way, the time when you left the message is still preserved. —C.Fred (talk) 18:40, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Thank you. It is a bit over-whelming when you are new and trying to learn. I am trying to review the info on editing before I try something else. I do see much room for imporvement and improved readability.

Why am I blocked?

Would somebody please have the courtesy to inform me as to exactly why I have been blocked? I have done nothing wrong that I can think of. It has been so long since I have edited and I have tried to follow my own paper trail, finding no wrong doing! Help! A cowgirl (talk) 02:16, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

You don't show as blocked. What message are you getting that indicates you're blocked? —C.Fred (talk) 02:22, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

This is what I am able to cut n paste per the instructions I can follow when I get the block message:

This user is asking that their autoblock or shared IP address block be lifted:
