[edit] Unblock
User: Stormrose IP:203.98.31.34 Msg: Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "0485581". The reason given for 0485581's block is: I am a lecturer in Online Media at the Wanganui School of Design [1]. I set an assignment for students to signup for Wikipedia and spend at least ten hours "contributing". This is so that students get an understanding of the rise of social websites, and an understanding of how big wikis work. Wikipedia gets the benefits of their contributions. It seems that once my student "0485581" signup, it go autoblocked and shut out my other students: (User names: Jeckal, 0485581, Chuqing.sha) (0485581 also tried to register as "pidpee". She's happy using either account). This IP address the the proxy-server that our whole institute UOCL [2] uses. If this IP address is blocked then nobody from our our institute (thousands of students) will be able to contribute to wikipedia. Please do not ban us based on the actions of bad eggs. If you have an questions please post here.\ Thankyou.
- I have removed the autoblock so it should be ok now. The "0485581" account is still blocked it should not be used, it was blocked as an inappropriate username. Sometimes the autoblocker activiates again, in which case please repost the unblock message. --pgk(talk) 07:17, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
