Request reason:

I am a social studies teacher at the American School in Japan. My students and I have been doing research on various immigrant groups and I had them all edit a section of the Wikipedia site as way to contribute some of what they learned. We all have similar email addresses, but I don't see why you should block us for that. You should be encouraging students to contribute. Did you find anything that was not legitimate? Please reinstate our accounts.Seblodgett (talk) 4:54 pm, Yesterday (UTC−4)

Accept reason:

All of your students' accounts have been unblocked. In the future, please have your students post a note indicating they are participating in a class project, as this will help avoid confusion in the future. TN X Man 13:23, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We heartily encourage editors. Teachers are directed to WP:SUP for guidance on school projects. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 21:15, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) I've left a note with the admin that blocked all the accounts. We'll get this sorted out shortly. —DoRD (talk) 21:17, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

While you claim that the issue has been fixed, all of the work done by my students is still erased. Is there any way to make their previous work active?
