  2. Go to a public place where you cannot be traced. Look at the talk page of your "IP user" first. It would be ideal to use an IP that has never edited before.
  3. Use a browser that supports tabbed browsing such as Mozilla Firefox or Opera. Open many tabs, edit, and save them all at once (as quickly as possible using alt-s (or alt-shift-s) and the hot key for switching between tabs)
  4. If you are still not blocked and have done everything you can, copy and paste this how-to to high visibility pages

  1. English Wikipedia is edited mostly by English speakers. 73% of the English speakers are Canadians or Americans. So pick a time when most of these people are asleep.
  2. Go to a public place where you cannot be traced. Look at the talk page of your "IP user" first. It would be ideal to use an IP that has never edited before.
  3. Use a browser that supports tabbed browsing such as Mozilla Firefox or Opera. Open many tabs, edit, and save them all at once (as quickly as possible using alt-s (or alt-shift-s) and the hot key for switching between tabs)
  4. If you are still not blocked and have done everything you can, copy and paste this how-to to high visibility pages
  5. Do not edit articles that are recently edited, as more eyes are on it
