Request reason:

I'm a new editor and I don't know why I have been blocked. What does this mean? Please help :)

Decline reason:

Procedural decline per below. Daniel Case (talk) 01:23, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

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.

• There is no direct block on this account, so your underlying IP address might blocked. You'll need to tell us the actual message you get when you try to edit. — Alan / Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 13:44, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. It says:

Editing from 182.52.118.23 has been blocked (disabled) by ProcseeBot for the following reason(s): Banned proxys.svg The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be an open proxy. To prevent abuse, these proxies may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. If you believe you are not running an open proxy, the most likely cause is that another customer from your ISP who was previously assigned this IP address was running an open proxy. If this is the case, please request to be unblocked using the {{unblock}} template, or request administrator attention using {{admin!}} and indicate you are caught by an open proxy block. More rarely, your network equipment or that of your service provider may be misconfigured or compromised by malicious software (such as a virus). In some cases, this can be remedied by logging into the secure server. For more information, see the Wikiproject on Open Proxies and Wikipedia:Open proxies. (Sandbox test edit) This block has been set to expire: 02:13, 29 August 2014.

I will ask at Wikipedia:WikiProject on open proxies for this to be investigated. JohnCD (talk) 16:01, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

I don't want to give too much detail, but this user is running on a horribly insecure router, and I would strongly suggest not unblocking until they fix that. Dennis Brown | 2¢ | WER 23:09, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
