I have been blocked unnecessarily. I have not indulged in vandalism or any malicious activity. Of course, I log in from a network protected by firewall, but this should not be any reason from blocking me. I do not control my IP addresses, but the system does, so how can I help.
This is a totally arbitrary action by the SysOp who has taken an arbitrary action against me. I am sure you will unblock me and take an action only and only if you find something that is improper on my part

Why should you prevent me from editing since I have not indulged in any vandalization or any activity harmful to Wikipedia ??
- I\\\'ve unblocked you. It looks like you hit an \\\'autoblock\\\' meaning that the same IP was used by a vandal that was blocked. --JoanneB 11:53, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
- Hm, I can\\\'t find any records of your block in the past. Could you please tell me what it said when you were blocked? --JoanneB 11:57, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
Lord Eddington 17:35, 28 March 2006 (UTC) It said I logged in from an IP number that is usually blocked. I have not control over the IP or firewall which is on the systems that often surround me.
Thanks for removing the block.
International Council for Accrediting Alternate and Theological Studies (ICAATS)
[edit]Hello, could you please add sources in regards to the International Council for Accrediting Alternate and Theological Studies (ICAATS). First off, Indian\\\'s Ministry of Education has never heard of it and it is not listed as an accreditor.[1]
Secondly, according to a post: \\\"Whole thing is an enigma. This seems to be run by Kenny Rhodes who at one time was a student at ACCS and set up their on line library. With everything that happened at ACCS, he did not finish his doctorate (looks like in his bio he only got through a couple of courses). He appears to be doing his PhD through Calvin (one in India accredited by the same entity that accredits Scofield). His bio lists him as a candidate.\\\"[2]
Lastly, Rhodes runs Scofield Graduate School, which is also ran by Johnson C. Philip. Philips is located in Kerala, India along with two unaccredited schools he runs. That happens to be where Scofield claims their \\\"accreditor\\\" International Council for Accrediting Alternate and Theological Studies- ICAATS is from.[3]. Arbusto 09:35, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
- Not all observations placed here by Arbustoo are correct. For example, Johnson C. Philip does not run Scofield. His connection is limited to the title as Chancellor he hold in Scofield. He cannot run another institution (in addition to his own Trinity) as this will jeopardize his accreditation with ICAATS, which places certain restrictions on how many schools a person can run. His observations about the accredited institutions of higher education has one flaw: no Indian website list completely represents all accredited organizations yet. Net penetration is slow, and pacing info on websites is also growing only at a small pace. Many important government offices do not yet have a single computer. So the internet does not yet offer comprehensive information about Indian government agencies. User:Lord Eddington
