@Wikishovel It wasn't a test edit, the page was intentionally left blank to be correct. Please accept my draft 78.208.149.146 (talk) 14:32, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Wikishovel Please answer instead of doing useless categorizing. 78.208.149.146 (talk) 14:34, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Anonymous users from this IP address have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week to prevent further vandalism.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Admins

Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing hoaxes, such as Draft:Admins, is considered to be vandalism and is prohibited. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia—and then to correct them if possible. If you would like to make test edits, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Unblock request

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).

78.208.149.146 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Dear Wikipedia Administrators, I am writing to request an unblock of my IP address. I understand that I was blocked due to vandalism. I sincerely apologise for any actions that may have led to this situation. I have reviewed Wikipedia’s guidelines and policies, and I assure you that I will adhere to them strictly in the future. I am committed to contributing positively to the Wikipedia community and ensuring that my edits are constructive and in line with Wikipedia’s standards. Please consider my request for unblock. I am eager to return to contributing to Wikipedia and will make every effort to avoid any issues moving forward. Thank you for your time and consideration. 78.208.149.146 (talk) 15:09, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Extending block as this is an open proxy. Yamla (talk) 15:13, 18 August 2024 (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.

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be an open or anonymizing proxy, such as a VPN service. To prevent abuse, these proxies may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

If you are using an open proxy or VPN service, you will need to disable it or turn it off in order to edit Wikipedia.

If you believe you are not using an anonymizing proxy, the most likely cause is that another customer using your IP address who was previously assigned this IP address was running an open proxy. You may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the Unblock Ticket Request System.

More rarely, your network equipment or that of your service provider may be misconfigured or compromised by malicious software (such as a virus). For more information, see the WikiProject on Open Proxies.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using an open or anonymizing proxies in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

Not an open proxy

@Yamla I understand the block for vandalism (although I requested unblock), but I really have no open proxy. There must be a mistake, and you should know. 78.208.149.146 (talk) 15:17, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bullseye confirms this is an open proxy. It is, or was, running LUMINATI_PROXY (RESIDENTIAL). Combined with the blatantly disruptive editing, it's hard to see why anyone would want contributions from this IP address. --Yamla (talk) 16:18, 18 August 2024 (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.
