Your host, campus-dip-pool2.dip.cf.ac.uk (131.251.254.2), is registered to Cardiff University and may be shared by multiple users of an educational institution, so you might receive messages on this page that were not intended for you.

To have your own user pages, keep track of articles you've edited in a watchlist, and have access to a few other special features, please consider registering an account! It's fast and free.

If you are unable to create an account due to your institution's IP address being blocked, follow these instructions. If you are autoblocked repeatedly, contact your network administrator or instructor and request that your school contact Wikimedia's XFF project about enabling X-Forwarded-For HTTP headers on its proxy servers so that blocks will affect only the intended user.

Administrators: review contributions carefully if blocking this IP address or reverting its contributions. If a block is needed, consider a soft block using {{School block}}.

In response to vandalism from this IP address, abuse reports may be sent to its network administrator for investigation.

Educational institution staff and network administrators wishing to monitor this IP address for vandalism can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.

Posting on AN/I[edit]

Re your recent post on AN/I, it is important to place the notice on the user's talk page, or your complaint will just get wiped away. You can use {{subst:ANI-notice}} to do that. _signed,Willondon (talk) 16:31, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I had already placed the required notice, two minutes after I posted to the noticeboard. 131.251.254.2 (talk) 16:34, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 3 months for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text at the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. PhilKnight (talk) 16:36, 7 June 2023 (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:

This is completely insane. You've blocked my IP address for three months, when I was the one getting randomly attacked for making a handful of minor edits which made articles more concise, clearer, more accurate and generally better? Replacing text like "It is notable for being the prototype example" with "It is the prototype example" is not controversial. It is a simple, obvious improvement. Why are you blocking me for such edits? 131.251.254.2 (talk) 16:57, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

TPA removed per WP:DENY. You are not welcome here, period. RickinBaltimore (talk) 15:35, 30 June 2023 (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.

I find it ridiculous and outrageous that I was blocked. I made edits which made a few articles better. Nothing more, nothing less, just made some articles better. How the hell would you interpret my edits as anything other than valuable? It makes no sense. Whatever thought processes led you to insult me in this way were gravely mistaken. 131.251.254.2 (talk) 14:12, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
