Request reason:

Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is 76.169.74.243 . Is it appropriate to block very well established residential ISPs because the same cookie may also visit wikipedia under a VPN IP? This system policy seems highly suspicious, as VPNs are a common tool used by millions for legitimate purpose, both outside and inside wikipedia. This is highly inconvenient and I strongly suggest this system policy be changed immediately, or else. 76.169.74.243 (talk) 16:44, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Once you disable your VPN, you need to wait a full 24 hours for the block to clear. Yamla (talk) 19:32, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Amadeus1999. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Husayn ibn Ali, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ★Ama ^TALK ^CONTRIBS 00:06, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

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.
