WindlessLowlands, you are invited to the Teahouse![edit]

Teahouse logo

Hi WindlessLowlands! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia.
Be our guest at the Teahouse! The Teahouse is a friendly space where new editors can ask questions about contributing to Wikipedia and get help from experienced editors like Rosiestep (talk).

We hope to see you there!

Request reason:

Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is 221.132.113.0/24. It might be because I edit Wikipedia during my free time at work and this is my workplace internet. Can you please unblock it or suggest what to do? Thank you.

Decline reason:

You may request an IP block exemption(click for instructions) if you have few options for editing Wikipedia other than at work. 331dot (talk) 21:36, 21 October 2020 (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.

Hi @331dot: Thanks for the instructions. I have checked my internet connection preferences and sent an email to the checkuser team. It is really hard to find any time outside of my workplace to edit Wikipedia. Also, the internet connection is so much better here! WindlessLowlands (talk) 22:40, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

IP Unblock Request 2[edit]

Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is 221.132.113.0/24. I have already followed the instructions as provided in my last unblock request and sent an email to checkuser-en-wp@wikipedia.org. Can one of the admins please look into this and unblock my IP/give exemption? Thank you. WindlessLowlands (talk) 16:28, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you have emailed a checkuser, they will handle the exemption. Please be patient, as checkusers are volunteers too. 331dot (talk) 19:51, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hello WindlessLowlands. I have reviewed your emailed request, and would urge you to read it carefully. For technical reasons, IPBE will not be granted at this time, I am sorry to say. If you were to make changes as suggested in the email response, we can reconsider the request. Risker (talk) 03:35, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
