Is my IP blocked?

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).

Request reason:

If my IP is blocked (which I'm not sure of; my Username doesn't appear on the block list), how can I unblock it? It's possible I tried to edit while unaware that my VPN was still on. Thanks. MotkeKhabad (talk) 01:58, 27 July 2021 (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.

There's some sorta weird bug, or maybe a feature, I dunno, but your attempt to edit with the VPN has some sticky effect. I understand it will be fine in 24 hours. I wonder if it's a cookie thing? --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 03:43, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It is a feature. If you connect with an auto-blocked IP a cookie is given to the browser that carries the block forward. The real question is should we be using auto-block on VPN blocks? Anyway I believe the cookie expires in 24 hours, or you can clear the cookies for this site. HighInBC ^{Need help? Just ask.} 04:42, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

romanized Yiddish

Hello MotkeKhabad, thanks for adding the romanized Yiddish name to a few articles I created such as Kiselhof and Beregovsky. I made a slight change to separate out the romanized from the non-romanized Yiddish. I'm not actually sure if there is an officially correct way to do it but I think having them in separate templates may occasionally make it display better, especially as right-to-left characters sometimes create chaos when intermingled with English-language text. But if you heard otherwise feel free to revert it to the way you did it, because I'm not actually positive about this. Dan Carkner (talk) 00:58, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi MotkeKhabad! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Mischa Elman that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. CurryTime7-24 (talk) 16:15, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @CurryTime7-24 for pointing out that distinction! Will keep that well in mind when editing henceforth. All best, Motke. MotkeKhabad (talk) 00:25, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
