Request reason:

I work at a College/University, and was hoping to publish a page on Wikipedia. Creating my account, I was sad to see that the IP address was blocked. My IT department verified that we do not use a proxy, and came to the conclusion that we were blocked. This would make sense, as there are many individuals who are using the same internet connection and searching your site, which may lead to some red flags. Nevertheless, I would be happy to make a contribution to the site, and request that you remove the ban. My IP address is 192.136.67.2. Thank you for your time.

Decline reason:

When you created your account, your IP was not blocked so that isn't true. You could have written your article but didn't. Since you have access to other IP ranges, you may use those. As for 192.136.67.2, it is VPNtranet...yes, it is a proxy, apparent in its name, and will not be unblocked. Proxycheck.io, Teoh.io and IPQualityScore all report it as VPN/proxy and it is blocked as a colocation host.

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.

AfC notification: Draft:Hyperbolastic Functions has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Hyperbolastic Functions. Thanks! Robert McClenon (talk) 03:24, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Hyperbolastic Functions (March 24)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

See comments of reviewer, who notes that it is the application of these differential equations that may be significant, rather than the equations themselves, but that the references do not appear to substantiate moving this to article space. This draft may be resubmitted after expansion to show how the functions are useful in applications.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Hyperbolastic Functions and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Hyperbolastic Functions, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

March 2020

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Hyperbolastic functions, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Please don't add content based on your own deductions. When you add content, please add the source or sources that you summarised to write the content. Other editors shouldn't have to be guessing where you got the information from.

Thank you for providing the source for your last edit. Cheers --RexxS (talk) 15:50, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Because the source was already cited in the following sentence, I did not see a need to cite it. I will be more mindful when editing the document. Your efforts in making this a publish-worthy article are much appreciated!

Yes, it's true that having the same source for the next sentence lessens the need to cite that sentence. If the whole paragraph had been added in one edit, that would be an obvious assumption, but when you add a sentence in the middle of an existing paragraph, it's always best to add a cite at that time. They can always be consolidated to the end of the paragraph later if someone thinks the individual ones are unnecessary. Better to have too many citations than not enough.
