Apologies

edit

Just wanted to apologize separately from the discussion for my actions and the way I came at you. I'm going through some stuff right now and I let it get the best of me on here.--Rockchalk717 05:29, 28 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

No offense taken at all—suicide is a rough subject, and emotions are bound to get high about it. I think we strongly but sincerely disagree about some implications of WP policy, which is totally fine! But throw in suicide in the mix and things are bound to get a bit more heated than either party intends. Full disclosure: I was an editor for about a decade ... but that was a little less than a decade ago; I ended up ending my account because it was such a time drain I couldn't resist. So my understanding of WP policy could very well be outdated! Either way, I appreciate that you clearly care a lot about the project. Thanks so much for the message.--50.86.94.196 (talk) 14:11, 28 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 50.86.94.196. Every edit from this IP address has been mine. I will say that I've noticed that my IP address seems to change every few months on here, when I last edited, it was 2603:7000:3E40:83D7:98F2:45E3:412D:C66C, but I have no idea why this change happened. I am not using any sort of software/hardware that hides my IP—I am using Mac OS Ventura on a Safari browser. --50.86.94.196 (talk) 12:28, 29 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

This IP address is not blocked. Once you disable your proxy/vpn, you need to wait a full 24 hours for the block to clear. Yamla (talk) 12:33, 29 November 2022 (UTC)Reply


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.

Request reason:

Update: User:Yamla said that I have to wait 24 hours after I "disable [my] proxy/vpn" ... but I haven't used a proxy/vpn? (At least not to edit Wikipedia—I recently used airgpu.com so that I could play a video game on my Mac. ... But I can't imagine that would affect things here?) To put it another way: In addition to the fact that, as I said above, every edit from this IP is mine (see above), every edit I have made for the last few months is reflected on this IP's contributions (and, as I noted, before that, 2603:7000:3E40:83D7:98F2:45E3:412D:C66C)--50.86.94.196 (talk) 12:46, 29 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

As said below, there is nothing more we can do for you. I would check with anyone else potentially using this IP to see if they are using a proxy without your knowledge, and perhaps follow Yamla's earlier advice anyway 331dot (talk) 13:55, 29 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, given that this IP address is not blocked, there's literally nothing I can do for you. --Yamla (talk) 13:08, 29 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
