[edit] Blocking Problems

I'm now being block again, but with this message:

You do not have permission to do that, for the following reason:

Your user name or IP address has been blocked. The block was made by FT2. The reason given is This IP range is blocked to prevent vandalism. If you are one of the bona fide users on this IP range, and affected by this, please request unblocking, and ask for checkuser and IP block exemption.

Start of block: 18:48, May 13, 2008

Expiry of block: 18:48, May 13, 2008

Intended blockee:

You can contact FT2 or another administrator to discuss the block. You cannot use the 'e-mail this user' feature unless a valid e-mail address is specified in your account preferences and you have not been blocked from using it.

Your current IP address is 91.108.201.169, and the block ID is #. Please include either or both of these in any queries.

Is this an error, as I am signed in and the block ID is showing as "#".

My IP address is also blocked for editing and creation of new accounts. It's blocked on Firefox as well as IE6, so it is not a software problem. I can not talk to FT2 because I can not edit their page. I have not vandalled anything and my user should not be blocked. Can someone please explain. Tholly (talk)

add {{unblock|reason}} to your talk page. J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 16:12, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

OK, thanks.

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

I have granted your account an exemption from IP blocking. This will allow you to edit through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in.

Please read the page Wikipedia:IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions.

Note in particular that you are not permitted to use this newly-granted right to edit Wikipedia via anonymous proxies, or disruptively. If you do, or there is a serious concern of abuse, then the right may be removed by any administrator.

I hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit without disruption.

Request handled by: SQL ^{Query me!} 16:58, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

I have asked the blocking admin for information. What has happened is the IP range that you edit from has been blocked due to a very prolific vandal and disruptive editor. You have not been blocked directly and this is not a software problem. Sorry for the inconvenience this has caused. A checkuser should be along to sort this soon. Regards. Woody (talk) 16:44, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I understand that blocking vandalising IP addresses is good, I am just frustrated that it also blocked my user, which shares the IP. Tholly (talk) 16:46, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Many thanks for unblock. Tholly (talk)

Thank you very much. It's very kind. - tholly ^--Turnip-- 17:01, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Vandalism"?

Would you care to explain how this constitutes vandalism? Before you leave any more disruptive templates on my (or anyone's) talk page please read the warning in large red letters at the top of it... — iridescent 18:44, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

I've replied on your talk page. Sorry.

As you clearly state at the top of your talk page:

If I start a conversation on your talk page, I'm watching it.

If you start a conversation here, I'll reply here, so make sure you watch this page.

So why did you leave a message on my talk page about this at 18:44, when I had replied to one on yours at 18:31? It wasn't a very complete answer which I later added to but there was no need to contact me here too. - tholly ^--Turnip-- 20:55, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Because I can see from your edit that you added it using Huggle, which (unlike Twinkle) doesn't auto-watch the tag pages it adds its driveby "vandalism" tags to. Given that you'd patently not read my talkpage - or you'd have seen that more than 50% of it is currently taken up by discussion with the author of Huggle on what can be done to curb this kind of misuse of it - it's reasonable to assume that you hadn't read the notice at the top, either. — iridescent 21:10, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

But I had read it, as I added a comment to your talk page about this incident before you posted this comment. - tholly ^--Turnip-- 15:06, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Welcoming

Hi Tholly. I appreciate you welcoming new users - its a good thing to do. However, could I ask you to check their contributions first? I notice that you've recently warned a couple of users (User:Mario7083‎ and User:Ekant20), who had vandalized articles before you welcomed them. In these cases its generally more important to revert the vandalism and warn the user than it is to welcome them. Thanks, Gwernol 11:51, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

OK, sorry. I'll try and look in future. - tholly ^--Turnip-- 11:52, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tolkien

Hey. I noticed that you reverted an edit to Christopher Tolkien; it was actually true, apart from the reject bit. Imperial Star Destroyer (talk) 12:36, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

I didn't revert your edit, but the one after yours, from the IP address 203.158.45.10.

If that second edit was you then the problem with it was:

It had no reference to prove it.
It seemed very unlikely - it was the reject bit which you've just said wasn't true.
It was in the wrong section - (under 'Court Case').
It was between a fact and that fact's reference, making it look like the reference was for this new fact, which it wasn't.

So that's why I reverted it. If you look at the article, your edit about the court case is still there. - tholly ^--Turnip-- 09:59, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] You're welcome

I greatly appreciate the Barnstar. Take care and happy editing! Cheers, --Simple Paradox 17:29, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

No problem, thanks. - tholly ^--Turnip-- 17:32, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Undelete the fiercest bitch awards page

I'll PUT YA ON IT!!!! Hun xoxo

The page was a nonsense-pure attack page, that had no place in Wikipedia. Please contact an administrator if you want to ask more.

Also, please put new comments at the bottom of the page. - tholly ^--Turnip-- 07:37, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WHAT

WHO ARE YOU HOW YOU FIND OUT WHAT I AM DOING? -77.29.64.94 (talk) 16:39, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I am using the vandal fighting tool Huggle. - tholly ^--Turnip-- 16:41, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rollback

I've granted you rollback permissions as per your request. I suggest you read Wikipedia:Rollback feature, if you haven't already. Keep up the good work! — Tivedshambo _(t/c) 16:56, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Many thanks. - tholly ^--Turnip-- 16:57, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Talk page vandalism

Hi Tholly. Thanks for reverting the vandalism to my talk page. ~~ [Jam]^[talk] 19:02, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, no problem. - tholly ^--Turnip-- 19:56, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] kurt cobain page edit

oh, yeah i guess i was trying to add something that i didn't notice was already there, sorry. thanks for fixing it anyway —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.216.240.88 (talk) 19:15, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

That's OK. - tholly ^--Turnip-- 19:55, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] How to stop Global warming

This is NOT promotional material and i don't need to read anything. Ive read all the making article stuff over three times. Ive made 6 articles and youve deleted them all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Matigues (talk • contribs) 20:58, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] i hate you

STOP DELETING MY ARTICLES. I HATE YOU. I HATE YOU. IM JUST TRYING TO MAKE AN ARTICLE AND YOU KEEP DELETING IT. IM GETTING REALLY PISSED OFF PLEASE LET ME HAVE A DAMN ARTICLE. --Matigues (talk) 21:08, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

It wasn't me on all of them (I think) - I only did it once. And I'm not deleting the article, only marking it for deletion. Anyway, it was content inappropriate for Wikipedia - it was just an essay reflecting your personal views. - tholly ^--Turnip-- 21:10, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

how was the content inappropriate. I was telling people how to stop warming not telling them which product to buy. I was giving my opinion for people to see and maybe take into effect to save the earth before we screw the planet Matigues (talk) 21:18, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Look at the Wikipedia guidelines on having a neutral point of view. As you said, you were giving your own opinion. If you wish to do this, you can do so in your own user space, but not as a main encyclopaedia page. If you wish to restore this page to somewhere in your user pages, contact an administrator who can email users copies of deleted pages.

Also, I'm obviously not alone in thinking that the article should be deleted, as I only tagged it for deletion. An administrator then looked at it and deleted it. - tholly ^--Turnip-- 16:44, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, look at: "Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles" for admins who will give copies of deleted articles. - tholly ^--Turnip-- 16:45, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
