User talk:BreeandCo.

It's a rather straightforward comment with a good reason for reverting, and and acknowledges that you intended to be constructive with your edit. We all make mistakes in edits, even experienced editors. Don't get too discouraged. I'm sure you can make a lot of helpful contributions!

Welcome to Wikipedia: check out the Teahouse!

Hello! BreeandCo., you are invited to the Teahouse, a forum on Wikipedia for new editors to ask questions about editing Wikipedia, and get support from peers and experienced editors. Please join us! I, Jethrobot ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!) 00:09, 10 October 2012 (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 unblock 64.69.155.94 This is a University IP address, and dozens of students are currently blocked, by a user named Mike Rosoft, from editting and creating log-ins.

Decline reason:

A block on anonymous editing shouldn't be preventing you from editing while logged in, and I can see that you made an edit to another user's talk page after posting this request, which makes me think this account is not blocked from editing. Are you blocked from editing? Have I misunderstood this request? FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 21:55, 11 October 2012 (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.

University ips, and other ips that are shared by lots of people, often have anonymous editing disabled because they become sources of vandalism. I'm sure your classmates will agree that people who would use the university computers to vandalize should be blocked, and so will be happy to register accounts so they won't be confused with other, less helpful students. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 22:02, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I double-checked- the school ip was just blocked, an hour or so ago, when someone used it to make an edit attacking another user. The only way I can think of that you would even notice this, from your logged-in account, is that the blocked user is in the room with you. Smack her on the head, and say, 'Now you've gotten anonymous editing disabled for two days, you blockhead.' -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 22:06, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am the professor in the class, and I asked this user to post the request since, obviously, a non-logged in user from a blocked IP would not be able to appeal the block. We noticed the block when the students who had not yet created usernames or who needed password reminders (I was in the latter category) could not do so. I am reasonably sure the personal attack did not come from this class, but if you want to send me the name of the user page that was attacked, I can try to ascertain this. I know this issue of blocking potentially proxied IPs is complicated, but surely blocking an entire University for three days because of one personal attack is excessive? It's hard enough to guide students to get anything at all done on Wikipedia due to incredibly zealous admins, and this shut our efforts down for several days.--Dupea (talk) 20:20, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
