(UNBLOCK REQUEST: Please remove block. IP address shared by multiple users. @TonyBallioni:) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.205.224.10 (talkcontribs)

This is not relevant. Besides, it isn't stopping you from editing from this address. You just have to sign in with an account. If you don't have an account, one may be created for you via WP:ACC. --Yamla (talk) 23:53, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This 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).

Request reason:

Please see above (shared IP), multiple users.

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

  • the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
  • the block is no longer necessary because you
    1. understand what you have been blocked for,
    2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
    3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. Yamla (talk) 23:53, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Yamla (talk · contribs) since this IP is shared by hundreds of people I don't know the reason for the block or when the damage happened. Can you elaborate so we can resolve this? 216.205.224.10 (talk) 14:25, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've already explained how you can edit. You need to sign in with an account. Wikipedia is happy to create an account for you if you don't have one already; you can use WP:ACC. Unless you can provide evidence the block-evading vandal has permanently stopped, there's nothing else we can do for you. --Yamla (talk) 14:44, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Can you give examples of acceptable pieces of evidence so we know what to gather? 216.205.224.10 (talk) 15:36, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No. That information is only available to a very limited set of users with WP:CHECKUSER access and would not normally be shared with anyone. You are welcome to request it from the blocking admin, however. --Yamla (talk) 16:19, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I understand although I am asking about the evidence I need to provide to show the block-evading vandal has permanently stopped? What is deemed to be valid pieces of evidence in this case? 216.205.224.10 (talk) 16:38, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well, you'd first need to demonstrate you control all the IP addresses in the 216.205.224.0/19 range. That's quite plausible, as the range belongs to Fox Entertainment Group, so it's controlled by someone at Fox. You'd need to provide convincing evidence you have tracked down the person responsible for the abuse and taken specific steps to ensure they'll never edit Wikipedia again (until their main account is unblocked). Note, though, this pretty much requires you to be a network administrator at Fox. If your goal is just to edit Wikipedia, I very strongly suggest you follow the instructions I've provided. If you believe you will be able to provide the above information, you'll probably want to contact TonyBallioni for more information. --Yamla (talk) 17:03, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the information. TonyBallioni (talk · contribs): may I connect with you privately to discuss the above? 216.205.224.10 (talk) 17:46, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ping @TonyBallioni: on behalf of this user. --Yamla (talk) 17:56, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • If you wish to edit, please use WP:ACC, and an account will be created. There was significant disruption coming from an individual using this range, and I did not block it lightly. There is some collateral damage, (which is why I used the wide template), but unfortunately, the block is needed at this time. TonyBallioni (talk) 18:04, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I understand. Thank you. 216.205.224.10 (talk) 18:09, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
