Request reason:

Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is 58.178.81.102. This IP is owned by my ISP (Dodo), and clearly isn't static to me, because I have no idea who Frank Lowy is, so that previous edit must have been someone who got assigned this IP back in 2015. Regardless, this is not a colo or VPN, it's my home connection. 58.178.81.102 (talk) 22:00, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

That IP address is indeed a webhost; since it is radically different than this specific one, you are likely using a proxy or VPN; you will need to disable it if you want to edit. If you are concerned about privacy, you should create an account which hides your IP. 331dot (talk) 05:42, 19 March 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.

I do not see a block on this IP address. Please give the exact message that appears when you attempt to edit. 331dot (talk) 22:36, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Message is:

You are currently unable to edit Wikipedia.
You are still able to view pages, but you are not currently able to edit, move, or create them. Editing from 91.207.172.0/22 has been blocked (disabled) by SQL for the following reason(s): Server-multiple.svg The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Sounds like somebody blocked my whole /22, so I bet other users on this ISP are affected. 58.178.81.102 (talk) 00:20, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person (Frank Lowy), but that you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Jacona (talk) 12:03, 17 May 2015 (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.
