| style="border-top: 1px solid #AAA; padding-top: 0.5em;" | Wikipedia tries to be open, but we sometimes must [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|block]] a range of [[IP address]]es or an entire network, to prevent editing by abusers, vandals, or block evaders. <font color="red">'''These "range blocks" can affect users who have done nothing wrong. If you are a legitimate user, follow the instructions below to edit despite the block'''</font>. Users who are the intended target of a range block may still [[Wikipedia:Guide to appealing blocks|appeal the block]].
<span style="border:#707070 solid 1px;background-color:#e0ffe0;padding:2px">'''IP users (without an account):'''</span> If you do not currently have a account and wish to bypass this block, [[Wikipedia:Why create an account?|an account can be created]] to allow you to edit. Please use [http://toolserver.org/~acc/ this form] to request an account under your preferred username. In general, requests to unblock to the entire range '''will not be granted''' without a good reason, and you will simply be referred back to the option of requesting an account as described in the previous sentence. Additionally, if you wish to request unblock, please submit that request to the [[WP:UTRS|Unblock Ticket Request System]]. It is important that you '''use an e-mail address issued to you by your ISP, school, or organisation''', so we may verify that you are a legitimate user. If using the form, please refer to this block under "comments". If e-mailing, please refer to this block in your message.
<span style="border:#707070 solid 1px;background-color:#e0ffe0;padding:2px">'''Registered users (with an account):'''</span> If you already have an account in good standing, please follow [[Template:Autoblock|these instructions]]. You may also request [[Wikipedia:IP block exemption|IP block exemption]] to bypass blocks unconnected with you that affect your editing. Post an [[Wikipedia:Guide to appealing blocks|unblock request]] to your user talk page.
