why was my ip address blocked?

The notice didn't really say much except that it might not be my fault. I think it was in the past few hours, because i think i managed to make an edit without bothering to log in earlier tonight, but i might be remembering that wrong. Hopefully that's enough to go on, unless you block IPs very often? Irtapil (talk) 15:37, 17 November 2022 (UTC)l

An edit i made in wiktionary before i logged in was reverted, but was clearly "good faith"? so a block seems a bit much? Irtapil (talk) 17:04, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

you seem to have blocked half my country? our at least a substantial proportion of it. Is this specific to wikipedia, so not related to the wiktionary edit revert? couldn't you block a narrower and more relevant range of addresses? Irtapil (talk) 17:17, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

@Irtapil: The range was blocked to prevent abuse by an individual that has been ongoing since 2019. It is only for the English Wikipedia and it was done in response to edits only on the English Wikipedia. I believe it is still needed to protect the project. -- Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 20:42, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

isn't there a more specific narrower range you can block? what on earth were they doing that it warrants blocking half my county? Irtapil (talk) 21:35, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

No -- Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 17:18, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

Contentious topics procedure adopted

You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to updates on the Arbitration Committee's discretionary sanctions review process.

The Arbitration Committee has concluded the 2021-22 review of the contentious topics system (formerly known as discretionary sanctions), and its final decision is viewable at the revision process page. As part of the review process, the Arbitration Committee has resolved by motion that:

The above proposals that are supported by an absolute majority of unrecused active arbitrators are hereby enacted. The drafting arbitrators (CaptainEek, L235, and Wugapodes) are directed to take the actions necessary to bring the proposals enacted by this motion into effect, including by amending the procedures at WP:AC/P and WP:AC/DS. The authority granted to the drafting arbitrators by this motion expires one month after enactment.

The Arbitration Committee thanks all those who have participated in the 2021-22 discretionary sanctions review process and all who have helped bring it to a successful conclusion. This motion concludes the 2021-22 discretionary sanctions review process.

This motion initiates a one-month implementation period for the updates to the contentious topics system. The Arbitration Committee will announce when the initial implementation of the Committee's decision has concluded and the amendments made by the drafting arbitrators in accordance with the Committee's decision take effect. Any editors interested in the implementation process are invited to assist at the implementation talk page, and editors interested in updates may subscribe to the update list.

The fact was ... that betrothed couple Moe and Joan were paid $50 for helping a painter with his Marriage License? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Marriage License. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Marriage License), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.
