Request reason:

Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. I am using one of the major ISPs in the U.S. Does Wikipedia block whole ISPs? I switched my provider a few months ago and ever since I have been effectively banned from editing Wikipedia. I take great pleasure in editing grammar, syntax and puncuation in whatever Wikipedia article I come across. Occasionally I create but usually I add to new articles. Knowledge should be free (and free of typos and poor grammar). So...As I understand this problem, I am effectively being discriminated against because someone doesn't like the color of my IP address. How appropriate that I would discover this discrimination while trying to edit the "Jim Crow" article.XenoRasta (talk) 21:14, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Your IP address was blocked because it acted as a proxy server. PhilKnight (talk) 21:38, 17 January 2015 (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.

{{unblock reviewed|reason=Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. So it's "oh well, potential editor?" I have no other option than to use the IP I was given by my ISP. I am not using a proxy. I am not running Windows, but rather Linux. So the chances that my PC is infected is less probable. According to Whatismyip.com, I am not using a proxy. I have called my ISP and they state that my IP is dynamic and will change randomly. However, in practice my IP never changes. Even after I reboot the modem. Hell, I left th modem off last week for over 24 hours and my IP was still unchanged. Sounds dynamic, huh? Do you have suggestions that might help me to fix this problem? I have already read all of the IP blocking related articles on Wikipedia and have attempted several fixes. The rest of the options do not apply to my situation. Please help! I can no longer edit articles. XenoRasta

{{unblock reviewed|reason=Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy.I have tried several IP lookup services on the web. All of them show my correct location and that no proxies are being used. What does Wikipedia have that goes above and beyond these IP lookup sites? Of the several that I tried, one stated that I was on a blaclist. The rest did not. No one has effectively and definitively explained why I cannot edit Wikipedia. Claims that I am using a proxy have been dispelled. Why can I not edit? XenoRasta

May 2015[edit]

Hello, I'm Elizium23. I noticed that you made a change to an article, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, 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! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Lead[edit]

The lead just needs to be supported by the body of the text. Best Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 20:22, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. Do you have a medical opinion on the subject of schizophrenia and cannabis? XenoRasta (talk) 20:36, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

July 2015[edit]

Your recent editing history at Subway (restaurant) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Keri (talk) 00:20, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The next step is that I report you at WP:AN3 and make a case that you should be blocked for edit warring. I suggest that you self-revert the edit that you just made, and go to Talk:Subway (restaurant). Keri (talk) 00:28, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

August 2015[edit]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. NeilN ^{talk to me} 11:38, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you are now unblocked, please log in now that you are editing under User:104.156.228.193 so it does not appear to be a sockpuppet. Bahooka (talk) 13:49, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sign in[edit]

You are currently editing under both User:104.156.240.153 and User:XenoRasta. It looks like sockpuppetry when you do that, so please log in. And stop trying to put the same content in the Vans article that has already been removed by consensus on the talk page and reliable sources noticeboard.

Subway[edit]

Please stop adding your POV on the section about Jared Fogle. Whether it was "immediately" or "just" before his jailing is a matter of opinion, depending on how you wish to consider the length of the intervening time. Fact is that it was before, anything else is suggesting something to the reader. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 12:12, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
