User talk:82.35.44.68

Welcome!

Interested in becoming a regular contributor to Wikipedia? Create an account!

Your IP address, 82.35.44.68, is part of a pool of dynamically allocated addresses and is registered to Virgin Media O2. It may be shared by multiple users, so you might receive messages on this page that were not intended for you.

To have your own user pages, keep track of articles you've edited in a watchlist, and have access to a few other special features, please consider registering an account! It's fast and free. (Note: Sometimes, due to vandalism, you may be temporarily unable to register).

Applying an indefinite block to this IP is not appropriate, unless it is a soft block, because the IP address will later be reallocated to a different, unrelated, and unsuspecting user, thereby impairing access to Wikipedia in an inappropriate fashion. Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking.

The best approach is to determine the CIDR IP numerical address range and make a higher-level decision to soft-block the entire range. http://www.arin.net/ (for approximately North America) and related sites can help to identify that range. Caution is advised when applying a range block as other Wikipedians, both registered and otherwise, may be affected.

In the event of vandalism from this IP address, abuse reports can be sent to its network administrator for investigation.

Review contributions carefully if blocking this IP address or reverting its contributions. If a block is needed, administrators should consider a soft block using Template:Anonblock.

Network administrators, to monitor this IP address for vandalism, can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.

Request reason:

Hi all,

I am trying to edit w/ interest on Chabad-Lubavitch and related Wikipedia entries. Unfortunately, it seems I've been blocked for something someone else did. The talk page above says this is a dynamic IP - I would imagine that an agitator of some sort has been causing some issues - unfortunately preventing everyone else who wants to be productive from using this address properly.

I'm not overtly familiar with Wikipedia - I don't exactly know what a CU block is - I have used it for a quick source of info often, though this is the first time I've attempted to edit.

Would appreciate guidance whenever someone who can help is available. For instance, can I identify problems in an entry using this page to show I am productive, or does this violate a particular rule?

NYR - Thanks,

Moshe

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.

Question[edit]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Hi all,

Just returning here to enquire w/ regards to how the process at Wikipedia:Request an account is going - I'm aware it states it can take up to 2 to 3 days in the entry - but I would assume I would be permitted to enquire about the progress of my request. What particular stage, if any, is the request in? I believe my alternative email is attached to the request - if that is of any use to anyone.

Apologies if my message comes off as slightly demanding - I can assure you all it is not my intention. I'm looking forward to adding my part and contributing to Wikipedia!

NYR - With regards,

Moshe

I don't think your message "comes off as slightly demanding"; I have 100% sympathy with anyone forced to wait because of a block which is not their fault. However, it isn't possible for an ordinary Wikipedia editor, or even an administrator, to see on Wikipedia how an account request is progressing. There may be a way of asking the people who deal with account requests how your request is getting on, but I think you will very probably just have to wait. However, I am leaving your request open in case someone with more knowledge of how the system works can give you a better answer. JBW (talk) 19:58, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please reply to your last email you received from the account creation system, this will go to the volunteers that deal with it and will make it easier to find your request - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 01:09, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rich

Appreciate your help. Had to create an account via an unlocked IP address instead. Hope that's alright. Looking forward to productive contributions.

Thanks

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.
