Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Scottie Thompson (basketball). Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. ^{Babymissfortune} 04:37, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

If I am not blocked, why does it say I am blocked?

"You are currently unable to edit Wikipedia due to a block affecting your IP address. This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.

Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. See below if you do not believe you have done anything wrong.

Editing from 172.83.40.0/22 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s): Server-multiple.svg The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.

We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in. If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. [[Special:Contributions/120.29.108.201|120.29.108.201]] ([[User talk:120.29.108.201#top|talk]]) 01:02, 9 March 2021 (UTC)}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

This block has been set to expire: 22:17, 12 December 2023.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page and email other editors and administrators.

For information on how to proceed, first see the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

Is it possible someone else has a VPN on without your knowledge? The IP address you give in your message is different from this one, which would suggest a VPN. Try clearing your browser's cache. Otherwise, you will need to ask your ISP for assistance, as we see no block on this IP. 331dot (talk) 01:55, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How could someone else have a vpn without my knowledge? How could my IP address be different? Different from what? How can my ISP get wikipedia to lift a block? Your own page says you need to do that.120.29.108.201 (talk) 02:05, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As we see no block on this IP directly, there is nothing more that we can do. This IP is 120.29.108.201 and your initial message had 172.83.40.0/22, meaning that something is in operation that changes your IP. It could also be a webhost, in which case you will need to link to something showing that the webhost owner offers residential internet services. 331dot (talk) 10:45, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My IP address has not changed. Otherwise, why would we be on the same page? Don't different IP addresses have different talk pages? You want me to tell you my ISP name? What is yours? Also, if non-residential ISPs are banned, does that mean students can no longer edit wikipedia? What about mobile internet? Somethings sounds off about all this... 120.29.108.201 (talk) 15:08, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The point is that something is causing your IP to be different than what Wikipedia picks it up as. Typically, this is a VPN, proxy, or webhost, which are all used by vandals to evade detection and blocking. You say you are not using a VPN/proxy/webhost- but something is going on to prevent you from editing. I can accept that you may not be aware of what that is, but we have told you everything we have to tell you. The only other option you have is to first request an account at WP:ACC, and then with that account request an IP block exemption per the instructions at WP:IPECPROXY. 331dot (talk) 18:10, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't even know what a webhost is. And while I have one of the most expensive ISPs in the world, I can't dish out money for a VPN. I don't go to porn sites or anything, so I don't see why I would need one. Your advice is wrong though. I did this before on wikipedia. This same crap happened.

"You are banned from Wikipedia for ruining an article you never heard of." "Hello. Please un-ban me, thanks." "You're not banned." "But it says I am banned." "Nope." "Yes." "Submit a request to create a new account." "OK." "Your account is now created." "Thanks." "You have been banned for 10,000 years for block evasion by creating an account while being banned!" "What?"

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
