Template:CheckUser block
Although Wikipedia tries to be open, it is sometimes necessary to block a range of IP addresses or entire network, to prevent editing by abusers, vandals, or block evaders. 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. Otherwise, you may appeal the block. IP users (without an account): If you do not currently have a account and wish to bypass this block, an account can be created to allow you to edit. Please use this form or e-mail us to request an account under your preferred username. 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. Registered users (with an account): If you already have an account in good standing, please follow these instructions. You may also request IP block exemption to bypass blocks unconnected with you that affect your editing. Post an unblock request to your user talk page. Administrator note: CheckUsers are privy to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy. You must consult a CheckUser before amending or lifting this block. Administrators undoing checkuser blocks without permission from a checkuser may have their administrator rights removed by the Arbitration Committee per this. |
