Request reason:

Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 192.145.119.153. Place any further information here. Proudcatmom (talk) 20:11, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

The IP address you mentioned is owned by NordVPN, which to all intents and purposes is an open proxy. You should turn off your VPN if you wish to edit. stwalkerster (talk) 20:15, 18 June 2024 (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.

Paid editing and cite insertion

You should not be inserting citations to the subject of your paid editing directly into articles. Instead, please follow proper practices for paid editors and request such additions on the talk pages of the associated articles. You can find information about doing that at Wikipedia:Guide to effective COI edit requests. MrOllie (talk) 02:26, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have noted this. Thank you for the information! Proudcatmom (talk) 02:32, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Hi, Proudcatmom, I just wanted to extend a welcome to Wikipedia to you.

Feel free to contact me any time at my Talk page if you need advice about anything. Standard questions about editing Wikipedia can always be placed at the Tea house or the Wikipedia:Help desk.
