Blocking administrator: Ivanvector (talk • blocks)

Decline reason: IPBE is normally only granted in cases where it is difficult for people to access Wikipedia at all- like countries where accessing Wikipedia is restricted by the government, or someone who has no other means of internet access. As you have access via your computer, there is no need to grant you IPBE, especially where you say "it's not a big deal". 331dot (talk) 08:43, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is my cell phone's IP address, currently the system will not let me edit on my phone even if I am logged into my account. I was wondering if this could be changed to a soft block or I could get IP block exemption so I can edit on my phone if need be. To even make this request, I had to log onto Wikipedia using my computer--it is not a big deal but it is unfortunate if I see something I want to fix and cannot easily get to my computer. --Thebirdlover (talk) 07:17, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User Claiming They Are Banned When They Are Not; Not Sure How to Address

User:Justcgi is claiming that they were community banned and banned by the WMF on their user page even though they don’t seem to be (unless they are some sort of sock puppet). I did not want to put a warning template, modify the userpage, and/or post to AN/I without checking because even though I am assuming it is against the rules, I cannot find a policy that explicitly forbids falsely claiming you are banned on your user page.

I think I found a template on Twinkle that addresses this and feel comfortable modifying the user page and putting a warning on their talk page now; please correct after looking at their user/talk page if I end up messing this up. --Thebirdlover (talk) 20:54, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not quite sure what help you are requesting, so I've removed that template. The warning you've posted on Justcgi's talk page is fine - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 15:04, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if it was unclear what I was asking for, but I wanted to verify there was a policy that forbade users from claiming they were banned when they were not so I could address that situation appropriately--which it sounds like I did end up doing on my own. I was nervous if the user pressed me about it, I would not have a concrete policy that I could use to justify on why I took their fake "ban notice" away. Thanks for the info you were able to provide. --Thebirdlover (talk) 23:08, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
