Estuary Crossing Shuttle

Hi, and thank you for creating this article. A couple of points:

The opening phrase where you name the topic goes in bold, rather than being made a link back to the article (though this latter appears as bold!).
When you add categories, please check afterwards by looking at the bottom of the display when you read the article, and check that the categories are all listed in blue. If any are red, then those categories don't exist. It's possible to create new categories, but you more likely need to look around and find the appropriate categories. Looking at a similar article, such as one of the other bus services listed in the template, can suggest what the relevant categories are called. I think I've found some better categories for this, including one much more specific than plain Category:Free. It all takes a while to learn your way around, and I hope you'll stay around and learn more about Wikipedia. Good luck. PamD 13:15, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural - wrong unblock template (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 21:35, 9 September 2011 (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.

I did not know I was using an open proxy I am just piggybacking on free wi-fi around my neighborhood and mostly edit wiktionary nowadays but I wanted to create a redirect to choking from modified chest thrusts so that those looking into the definition can be linked up to the article on wikipedia that goes into depth regarding heimlich, pattings, etcGtroy (talk) 20:47, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I can't see a block on you - it might just be a blocked connection you happened on. Try somewhere else, and let us know what the message actually says. I'm not expert on open proxies, and others are. Try it and see if you can connect. Peridon (talk) 21:07, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

... and in that case you would have to use a different unblock template, which you will see when you try to edit. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 21:35, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
