February 2017[edit]

Hello, I'm North Shoreman. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Middle Colonies have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

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 block is insanely large, and is cutting out thousands of Verizon users. I suggest finding a better, more specific, range block, and lifting this block. But, what do I know, I'm just a guy who retired from being an admin here. Seriously, almost every time I try to edit Wikipedia (because I still run across issues that bother me... even if I don't want to volunteer here under my account anymore) via mobile devices nowadays the entire ranges of those are blocked off. This is super lazy admin work to just block everything off to not have to deal with specific vandals. And it's going to kill the site eventually. 2600:387:8:11:0:0:0:54 (talk) 19:59, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

There's only about a month to go. If you were still an admin, you could have removed it yourself. If you have alternative ideas for stopping vandals using floating IPs, please offer them after this block is over, or if you can edit using other means. 331dot (talk) 22:25, 29 July 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.

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.
