You have attempted to edit a page, either by clicking the "edit this page" tab or by following a red link.
Your user name or IP address has been blocked by $1.
The reason given is this:$2
You can email $4 or one of the other
administrators to discuss the block. If you believe that our blocking policy was violated, you may discuss the block publicly on the WikiEN-l mailing list (http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l).
Note that you may not use the "email this user" feature unless you have a Wikipedia account and a valid email address registered in your user preferences.
Your IP address is $3. Please include this address in any queries you make.
If you would like to know when the block will expire, please see the block list.
If you need to see the wiki text of an article, you may wish to use the Export pages feature.
Innocent?
Sometimes IP ranges or shared proxies are blocked from editing Wikipedia. This means that lots of innocent people can't edit. If this is the case, it should be explained in the reason given above.
Also, some individual dynamic IP addresses may be blocked, usually for a 24 hour period. Occasionally, users with dynamic IPs will be blocked accidentally, due to that fact that their present IP was previously used by a blocked user.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. If this problem affects you repeatedly, and you would like to help us resolve this issue, you will need to contact a Wikipedia administrator and your internet service provider (ISP). The administrator should be able to obtain the time, date, and IP address used for the inappropriate behaviour in question, and describe what the problem was. You can then pass this information on to your ISP, explaining that you are unable to edit Wikipedia due to the inappropriate actions of another person using this ISP, and ask them to remedy the problem.
