Request reason:

Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is 71.85.97.222. My VPN is not connected at the moment. I tried disconnecting from my wifi and reconnecting as well as restarting my web browser to see if that helped, but wikipedia still seems to think I am connected through a VPN. 71.85.97.222 (talk) 04:14, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You are correct that this IP is not blocked, so I can't unblock you, either. As for what I can help you with ... we've found that it sometimes takes a day or so after you turn off a VPN for this to clear. I guess adjustments have to be made downstream. If you still can't edit here, post another request with whatever message you get when you try to edit pasted in. — Daniel Case (talk) 06:32, 29 April 2022 (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.

Your edits to Lucien Greaves[edit]

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Lucien Greaves, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. 111.82.30.68 (talk) 03:46, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I did not intend vandalize the article. I was trying to fix an error. In the infobox it states that he was born in Seattle. However, in the main article itself it states that he was born in Detroit (and this has a citation). May I ask why you say it was vandalism? 71.85.97.222 (talk) 06:23, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To me your edit appears to be fine. I see that the person who reverted you is now blocked, so there may be more going on here. FYI, if you have a similar reversion in the future you can take the issue to the article's talk page to get assistance from other editors. Allecher (talk) 18:38, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
