Request reason:

Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 140.177.205.223. I'm accessing the internet from a corporate network.

Decline reason:

Then your corporate network users a proxy; you will have to use other means to edit. 331dot (talk) 02:33, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This IP address was blocked because it is believed to be an open proxy, but it is in fact a corporate proxy that is only accessible to employees of Wolfram Research and our guests.

Reviewing recent activity, I can see that one coworker appears to have engaged in edit wars on one or more pages in recent months while accessing the site anonymously.

In general, I believe that most people I work with who may own an account and actively edit Wikipedia pages are already following Wiki guidelines, but it is obvious that someone has violated them. Unfortunately, this means that even registered users are currently unable to edit Wikipedia while on our corporate network.

What steps need to be taken to unblock this IP address (or at least for users that are logged in)? Should I ask someone in my company to set up a Response Team to address any complaints coming from this IP? Anything else?

Accept reason:

You should be able to edit now. I changed the block to only affect logged-out editing. If you still can't edit, let me know. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 15:45, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
