{{unblock|I didn't do anything wrong, all I did was redirect articles on a book and that book's main character to the article on the book's author. Those articles being the book Naughty Bits, the character Bitchy Bitch, and the author Roberta Gregory.}}

Y	Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s): Already unblocked... Request handled by: ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 23:30, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake! I unblocked you, and apologize for this misunderstanding. Owen× ☎ 23:25, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks. - LWZ

No, actually, I still can't edit and it appears "this block has been set to expire: 23:23, 17 November 2007." - LWZ

Thats odd if you cannot edit. See your block log, as you have been unblocked. Try refreshing your browser, directions are here. -Rjd0060 (talk) 23:39, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Try now. I forced the block to expire now. Owen× ☎ 23:40, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, I still can't edit anything. Iit tells me I can't edit because I've been blocked. - LWZ

And I can't even edit my own user page? -LWZ

Did you follow the directions to refresh your browser? here Rjd0060 (talk) 00:03, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Click here and see if you can edit the page. Owen× ☎ 00:03, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is obvious, the 24 hour IP autoblock. I don't know how an admin would get around that. Rjd0060 (talk) 00:04, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I followed the instructions on how to refresh my browser and also clicked OwenX's link that looks like it does the same thing. I still can't edit and I just get the "this block has been set to expire: 23:23, 17 November 2007" jazz. - LWZ

Things to do when I get unblocked:

Either link the Naughty Bits article to Roberta Gregory and Fantagraphics Books or else move that all to the Roberta Gregory article.

Put something in the Gregory article about winning the Inkpot Award and being nominated for Eisner Award.

You're probably right, Rjd0060. I found the autoblocked IP and unblocked it too. Let's try now, LWZ. Owen× ☎ 00:16, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey thanks, looks like I can edit again. - LWZ

Great! Thanks for your patience. - Rjd0060 (talk) 00:23, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, LWZ. Sorry about all the hassle! Owen× ☎ 00:24, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
