I'm Confused

Dear Yamla. In April I was notified that my account was blocked because of "Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is 89.187.184.190. VFF0347 (talk) 02:05, 21 April 2019 (UTC)." At that time I sent in a request to unblock my account. Per my talk page I was notified that my request was denied because "Confirmed proxy. Yamla (talk) 11:12, 21 April 2019 (UTC)."

Regardless, it did not seem to cause me any issues. As you can see in my list of contributions I have made many edits since April 2019.

Can you explain to me what this all means? What does "colocation web host block" and "IP is not a web host" mean. I am a real person. I am an ordinary Wikipedia user (and monthly contributor $10) who studies history and since I became an editor I have made corrections to Wikipedia articles when I find facts in error, conflicting information, confusing language, poor grammar, incorrect spelling, etc. I document the changes that I make and I add in-line citations and references when I am changing or adding content. I am not doing anything malicious so I do not understand why I was send a notice that my account was blocked.

Can you help me understand what the blockage notification of April 2019 was all about and why if in fact my account was blocked that I can continue to edit and contribute.

Thank you for your help. Virgil Fairchild VFF0347 (talk) 18:04, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

You can read about proxies at Proxy server and you can read about VPNs at Virtual private network. The block wasn't targeted at you, it's just you were using a proxy or a VPN for a while. I want to be clear, as the block wasn't targeted at you, you did nothing wrong and are free to continue editing! WP:PROXY goes into quite a bit more detail on the specifics of why Wikipedia blocks these services. --Yamla (talk) 11:55, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

I know you've said we don't need your approval to unblock, and I imagine your watchlist has informed you already, but as a courtesy I'm just letting you know that I've lifted this user's block. Yunshui ^雲_水 22:24, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

Not a problem. Thanks for letting me know! :) --Yamla (talk) 23:02, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

Wiki Page discussion

Hi Yamla, it's not about policy violation, my question is can a genuine company not have a wiki page that doesn't advertise it ?

If that's the case, can you help me with how to setup an informational page because I do know this company is doing good work in their field and that people should know about its existence.

As you said it violates a lot of policies, my point is there are a lot of other pages doing the same and blatantly advertising as well but nobody questioning it ?

Genuinely asking for help, let me know if I am missing something specific. Volcanicsnow (talk) 10:50, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

You indicated you were approached by a friend. Therefore, this is a violation of WP:MEAT. It's completely irrelevant what's happening on other pages; WP:OTHERSTUFF explains why. In general, though, other pages aren't written by people with conflicts of interest. Regardless, the matter is closed. You would be violating WP:MEAT and WP:COI if you pursued this matter further. --Yamla (talk) 10:52, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

Good to know you think other pages do not have a WP:COI though i will beg to differ, fine i am dropping the matter from further discussion but i really do think this aggression is unjustified considering the page is not doing any promotional activity and its just a page that defines that such a company also exists, which has been the true purpose of wikipedia to be a know it all for the world, I really think you guys should consider somebody who does not have COI will never get enough information about a company whatever source they cite to have such elaborate detailing, let me not give examples as nearly all company pages blatantly advertise. Thanks for not being helpful, you may block my account if you deem fit, you are the admin after all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Volcanicsnow (talk • contribs)

Now blocked by another admin for sockpuppetry. --Yamla (talk) 16:31, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

Thank you!!!!!!! 2605:A000:121E:E246:2D79:D815:2629:4F8F 2605:A000:121E:E246:2D79:D815:2629:4F8F (talk) 15:18, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

This is about [1] - I did think it was just another religious editwarrior, but I guess not. I've posted to their talk page explaining that we date from when a settlement became a city and stayed a city until today, not the first settlement. Doug Weller talk 15:20, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

Oculus rift edit

I copy pasted from the main Oculus rift s page which is linked like a couple lines above in the title of the Oculus rift s subsection i edited. Go back an undo it. ( Hello, I'm Yamla. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Oculus Rift, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --Yamla (talk) 22:46, 22 August 2019 (UTC) ) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.248.13.154 (talk)

Great. WP:CITE will teach you how to cite your edits. --Yamla (talk) 23:08, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

I don't do console text write speech whatever. Maybe wikicrap should invest in proper tools and messaging system. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.248.13.154 (talk) 23:09, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

This is incoherent. If you don't wish to edit Wikipedia, nobody is forcing you to do so. --Yamla (talk) 23:11, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

And yet i added good correct info and your expert ass editing skills have fucked it up and now had to backtrack ...Tell me now how silly your citation request is when the info is on the article itself ?

You are expected to remain civil. See WP:CIVIL. --Yamla (talk) 23:13, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

You are confused. The article with your edit (after you removed your vandalism) is here. The 115º figure is not cited on that page. The 110º figure is, but it is your responsibility to cite the information you are adding. --Yamla (talk) 23:15, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

No, the information i added is correct and you're the one who vandalised the page as soon as you removed the 115 degrees edit. I don't have to provide citations cause it's not a controversial topic. AND it's actually correct on the proper page if you weren't lazy and had checked.

It's still not fixed. Go fix it and stop vandalising the article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oculus_Rift#Consumer_version is still misssing the proper degree info as per the main article on Oculus rift s. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.248.13.154 (talk • contribs)

For the last time, it is not relevant if the information is correct. See WP:V. You must cite your change. You did not do so. You are welcome to reintroduce the change, if but only if you provide a reliable citation that meets WP:RS and WP:CITE. This is the last time I will respond to you. Please go away and leave my talk page alone. --Yamla (talk) 23:20, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

WP:TRUTH is also on point here. --Yamla (talk) 23:22, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

American Thinker is currently cited 1.4million plus times on WP

The judgement is a fact. The material is RS as illustrated by the 1.4million WP coincidental citations from the same source. Revert the edit and cease bullying and threatening me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.224.251.239 (talk) 02:50, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

Herald Sun is one of the leading Australian newspapers. Make WP great again.
