- You're experiencing a thing called an Autoblock. I'm not an admin, so I can't unblock it, but if you put {{unblock}} on this page, someone should be around to help you. For any administrators reading this, the autoblock is #236169. --Mr. Lefty Talk to me! 17:49, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
thanks for the help i hope this does the trick
Your user name or IP address has been blocked from editing.
You were blocked by Crazycomputers for the following reason (see our blocking policy): Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "Giantpenisman". The reason given for Giantpenisman's block is: "Your username has been blocked indefinitely because it is either inflammatory, deliberately confusing, designed to impersonate legitimate users, or otherwise inappropriate (see our blocking policy for more information). You are encouraged to create a new account and contribute to Wikipedia under a more appropriate username, and in a constructive manner. See Wikipedia:Username for guidance on selecting an appropriate username. You may also edit Wikipedia without creating an account. You are not allowed to edit Wikipedia under an inappropriate username. If you would like to discuss the block, you may edit your talk page or email the administrator who blocked you.
Due to Wikipedia's mechanism for enforcing name changes, your IP address may be temporarily blocked. Unless you have also been engaging in vandalism or impersonation of another user, we will remove that block as soon as possible — if this doesn't happen within an hour or so, please email an administrator and explain the situation (see the list of administrators).
If you want to keep the contributions from your old account for your new username, please follow these directions: (1) Add {{unblock-un|new username}} to your user talk page. This is possible because even when you are blocked, you can still edit your own talk page. (2) Soon, an admin may come to unblock you. (3) You will have 24 hours since the unblock to file a request on Wikipedia:Changing username before you may be re-blocked. Note that this can only be done before you create the new one. For more information, please visit Wikipedia:Changing username. In many cases (especially if your account has few or no edits), it is a lot easier to create a new account.
". Your IP address is 131.156.225.29.
You are not blocked from reading pages, only from editing them. If you were only intending to read a page and are seeing this message, you probably followed a red link. These are links to pages that do not exist, so they take users to an editing screen. You should have no problem if you follow only blue links.
If you would like to know when the block will expire, please search for your name or IP on the block list.
If the reason given is "username", "user...", or "contact an administrator for verification purposes", then you or someone with whom you share an IP address has most likely been blocked for choosing an inappropriate or suspicious username. Please read our username policy for more information. If you do not feel that the name is inappropriate, or if the name was registered by somebody other than yourself, please contact the blocking administrator, as described below.
Innocent? Sometimes IP ranges or shared proxies are blocked from editing Wikipedia. This means that innocent people sometimes can't edit. If this is the case, it should be explained in the reason given above.
Also, some individual dynamic IP addresses may be blocked, usually for 15 minutes to 3 hours. Occasionally, users with dynamic IPs will be blocked accidentally, due to that fact that their present IP was previously used by a blocked user.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. If this problem affects you repeatedly, and you would like to help us resolve this issue, you will need to contact a Wikipedia administrator and your internet service provider (ISP). The administrator should be able to obtain the time, date, and IP address used for the inappropriate behaviour in question, and describe what the problem was. You can then pass this information on to your ISP, explaining that you are unable to edit Wikipedia due to the inappropriate actions of another person using this ISP, and ask them to remedy the problem.
What to do next
You can either wait for the block to expire, or contact Crazycomputers to resolve the problem that led to the block.
If you wish to contact Crazycomputers, you may do so via email, or by adding "{{unblock}}" to your user talk page (which you can edit even while blocked, unless it is protected) to request unblocking.
If after discussing the matter with Crazycomputers you believe the block is unfair, you may appeal the block. You will need to know:
Your IP address, which is 131.156.225.29 The name of the blocking admin, which is Crazycomputers The reason you were blocked, which is: Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "Giantpenisman".
