| 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 aan account and wish to bypass this block, [[Wikipedia:Why create an account?|an account can be created]] to allow you to edit. Please use [https://accounts.wmflabs.org this form] to request an account under your preferred username. In general, these blocks only prevent users who are not logged in from editing; once you are logged in, the block will no longer affect you in any way. 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> You may 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.
