Request reason: "Ryulong protects pages and hides this fact. Why do you want to suppress this info?"

Decline reason: "You can't hide page protection. Your personal attack has lead to this page being protected. — Yamla 20:05, 1 October 2007 (UTC)"

Request reason: "This IP address is a TOR node, but the exit policy has changed since it was blocked an it now disallows access to Wikipedia (66.230.200.100 & 66.230.200.219)."

Decline reason: "In that case, there's no way this address could be used to edit Wikipedia and no reason to unblock it. — Yamla (talk) 17:44, 18 December 2007 (UTC)"

Request reason: "I use this machine locally and would like to be able to edit Wikipedia from it.

[edit] Unblocked after investigation

The 129.21.* IP kind of jumped out at me when I saw in the unblock requests list for some reason. :) I figured I'd investigate this a little further; I think there's been a bit of a misunderstanding here.

I checked the Tor cached-routers file, and he's correct - the Tor node "dinomite" at 129.21.60.122:9001 has its exit policy set to reject outgoing connections to 66.230.200.100 (rr.pmtpa.wikimedia.org, the virtual host for all WMF wikis) and 66.230.200.219 (secure.wikimedia.org), which should prevent all Tor traffic from editing WP. I've re-blocked soft, so that he can edit from his machine while logged in (while still keeping it blocked to some degree to prevent confusing the intermittently-run Tor blocking bots). --krimpet✽ 19:55, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the help; a soft block seems the perfect solution --dinomite (talk) 20:21, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
