Welcome!

Interested in becoming a regular contributor to Wikipedia? Create an account!

Your IP address, 108.34.231.7, is registered to Verizon Business, UUNET, an Internet service provider through which multiple users may connect to the Internet via proxy, so you may receive messages on this page that were not intended for you.

To have your own user pages, keep track of articles you've edited in a watchlist, and have access to a few other special features, please consider registering an account! It's fast and free.

Review contributions carefully if blocking this IP address or reverting its contributions. If a block is needed, administrators should consider a soft block using Template:Anonblock.

If you are autoblocked repeatedly, contact your Internet service provider or network administrator and request it contact Wikimedia's XFF project about enabling X-Forwarded-For HTTP headers on its proxy servers so that blocks will affect only the intended user. In response to vandalism from this IP address, abuse reports may be sent to its network administrator for investigation.

Network administrators, to monitor this IP address for vandalism, can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.

Block Appeal

@ST47:

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

108.34.231.7 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is 108.34.231.7. Of note, the IP referenced in the error message is not the IP showing on any "What is my ip?" website. Under the suggestion of Daniel Case, I contacted the Telcom and they cannot find a reason why different IP addresses fall under such a range block. This older article mentions something similar happening a few years ago [1]. 108.34.231.7 (talk) 11:14, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

This IP address is not blocked. If you are getting a different IP address show up, that is because you used a proxy or a VPN within the past 24 hours. You need to ensure that is disabled and then wait a full 24 hours for the block to clear. Yamla (talk) 12:18, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

@Yamla:Understood. One question, why delete the article from Slashdot? Just asking, I am not trying to anger anybody. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.34.231.7 (talk • contribs)

I haven't the slightest idea what you are talking about. What article from Slashdot? --Yamla (talk) 14:05, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, do you mean the link to this? That's because the unblock template doesn't expect references and so doesn't preserve them when going through the review process. Basically, you were expected to link to the article rather than reference it. --Yamla (talk) 14:07, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know about the process. Still trying to learn the ins and outs. 108.34.231.7 (talk) 16:42, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. For the record, that was confusing for me, too. :) --Yamla (talk) 20:51, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Controversial topic area alert

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in gender-related disputes or controversies or in people associated with them. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Your conduct concerns

Hi Anon. I wanted to respond here about conduct concerns your raised at Talk:Patrisse Cullors. It would be greatly helpful if you could keep the article talk page discussion focused on the content and not other editors' conduct. The dispute resolution policy has some good advice on this: focus on content. If you need to voice conduct concerns, it's best to follow the steps outlined at WP:CONDUCTDISPUTE, the first of which is to bring it up politely at the user's talk page. Hope this helps, Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 01:43, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Will do now. 108.34.231.7 (talk) 02:36, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Teahouse talkback: you've got messages!

Hello, 108.34.231.7. Your question has been answered at the Teahouse Q&A board. Feel free to reply there!
Please note that all old questions are archived after 2-3 days of inactivity. Message added by 💜 melecie talk - 04:45, 18 April 2022 (UTC). (You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{teahouse talkback}} template).[reply]

April 2022

It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote—in order to influence Talk:Patrisse Cullors. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you.

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

Anonymous users from this IP address have been blocked from editing for a period of 3 months for persistently making disruptive edits.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 10:59, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address and you are an uninvolved editor with a registered account, you may continue to edit by logging in.

Blocked from editing for 3 months

This is done as a standard admin action. See [1]. Read WP:GAB for info, although I wouldn't support unblocking. Edit warring on talk pages, BLP violations (using reddit as a source for negative material) and more. We don't have time for this. Please note, the block is not on this particular IP address, it is on you as an individual. If you show up with another address, the block will be extended for a longer period of time, an dyes, we are pretty good at determining this. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 11:03, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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.
