Why have I been blocked?
[edit]@Drmies: Hello, my IP address seems to have been blocked. This has happened to me before but I'd been informed the reason was the nature of my IP address (Open... something. Sorry, I don't know anything about the topic) and not something I have done. Can you tell me why I have been blocked this time? I just want to make sure I haven't made any harmful edits or vandalized a page unintentionally. I should probably clarify I am registered (I have an account, as you can see) but still can't edit.

- Yeah, it's not you; you're on a range that was blocked for persistent vandalism, so persistent that we had no option but to block a couple ranges, and that includes two on which you are active. I blocked this one, the other was blocked by a colleague who must have thought the same thing I did. I'll tell you, it's some pretty dumb and incredibly disruptive behavior, it's been going on for years, and unfortunately you are also suffering the consequences. Anyway, I checked, and you should now have permission to edit. Please check and tell me if it worked. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 21:50, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you kindly, I totally understand that these things might happen and that blocking a range might be the most efficient way of dealing with vandalism. Everything seems to be working perfectly. Thank you for the help, have a good day! Teangacha (talk) 21:53, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
- Absolutely: sorry for the trouble, enjoy editing, and take care. Drmies (talk) 22:03, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

I just saw your edit: please include edit summaries. Thanks. Drmies (talk) 23:48, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
- Yeah I'm sorry I just didn't want to bother any longer Teangacha (talk) 23:57, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry my reply got cut off. I was wondering if I can get the same kind of exemption you gave me for the Italian Wikipedia. Unfortunately, I can't edit my talk page either on there. I hope I'm not overstepping, if it's not possible of course it's totally fine. Teangacha (talk) 00:07, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
- Ha, I can't help you with that--I have no global rights. You'll have to ask them there. Drmies (talk) 00:16, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
