Request reason:

Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 66.160.163.55. According to the block log, this IP address was originally blocked before it belong to me. 66.160.163.55 (talk) 20:31, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

Decline reason:

We almost never lift these blocks when an IP with just that one edit asks. If you are a registered user, consider going to WP:IPECPROXY and following the instructions there to request IP block exemption, a better fix for this issue. — Daniel Case (talk) 06:11, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

Request reason:

Hello. I appreciate Daniel Clase's response above, but it doesn't make much sense to me. First, I'm not a registered user; I would happily become one, but I'm not allowed to set one up because of the block. I am not requesting permission to use a proxy (which seems to be what the WP:IPECPROXY form is for) because I don't HAVE a proxy of any kind on this IP. That's why I'm confused. If this IP has never made an edit, and doesn't have a proxy, what could I have done to warrant a block? I benefit from Wikipedia all the time and simply wish to contribute to it. I'm at a loss about why I'm being disallowed from doing so.

Decline reason:

You may request an account at WP:ACC. and then once you have it, request an exemption for it. This IP falls within a blocked range where the IPs are used as proxies. 331dot (talk) 08:31, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
