From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 This IP address formerly hosted a Tor "exit node" from which Wikimedia projects are accessible and was blocked due to abuse; however, as of 04:27, 13 May 2008 (UTC) this is no longer the case. (confirm)

This IP address can most likely be unblocked by an administrator after double-checking that the address no longer exits to Wikimedia projects. For more information, please see the WikiProject on open proxies.

This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | rangeblocks | unblock | contribs | deleted contribs) has asked to be unblocked, but an administrator has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock request while you are blocked.

Request reason: "Using TOR is not forbidden. See links below. (To reviewing admin: in case of declining, PLEASE don't remove these very informative links. Thank you in advance.)"

Decline reason: "Wikipedia:Open proxies is still official policy and Jimbo is expressing a personal opinion instead of Wikimedia Foundation policy. As members of the Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee are still enforcing Wikipedia:Open proxies I regret to inform you that no administrator will overturn this block until further security measures are implmented in MediaWiki. --  Netsnipe  ►  19:09, 5 October 2007 (UTC)"

Please make any further unblock requests by using the {{unblock}} template. However, abuse of the template may result in your talk page being protected.

Moreover, according to Mr. Jimbo Wales it is OK to use TOR: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jimbo_Wales&diff=prev&oldid=143559040

By the way -- what is the difference between "indefinite" and "infinite" in block log? 87.79.239.139 19:04, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
