Hello!
I can't for the heck of me not understand why you would block my IP address.
Which I just found out when trying to correct incorrect English to German translations (being a business English certified wiki user I oftentimes can't help but... do so).
If you could either remove this block, or at the very least exain it, I would be very grateful, as it is my opinion that Wikipedia has few enough helpful users as is, without destroying any interest to help keep the facts and or language "correct".
Thank you. 2001:871:263:AD96:CDC1:B860:F15:EB39 (talk) 14:35, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
- And yet you are able to edit here? Which other IP address do you use? Some IP addresses are blocked due to the presence of proxies or VPN on the IP addresses. We will not be able to evaluate whether the block can be removed without knowing the IP address. – robertsky (talk) 14:43, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
- OK, that did sound quite passive aggressive.
- . I might be wrong, if so, I am sorry, but I normally only use my home IP address, unless of course I try to edit something on the way to and from work..
- So, if you'd be so kind and explain to me the reasoning behind making it impossible for me to Co tribute, I'd be grateful.
- Thoigh my wish to add k ow ledge and grammar is downing rapidly, given the way I have been treated so far.... 2001:871:263:AD96:CDC1:B860:F15:EB39 (talk) 11:33, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
- Again we need to know the IP address to know why it is blocked. What is the message stated in the block banner? – robertsky (talk) 12:02, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
Hi you blocked me from editing and I don’t know why. I’ve never edited in bad faith or vandalized. There really is no reason to ban me. It’s one of my great joys, working on Wikipedia and frankly it’s a bit hurtful for you to do this. Could you please tell me why? Thank you Wikitoddia (talk) 06:53, 15 June 2025 (UTC)
