{{Unblock on hold|1=Lar|2=I am not entirely sure why my IP has been blocked; I am confident I have not disrupted the community or otherwise, and have no intention of doing so. I fully believe that this block is incorrect and possibly the result of a mistaken IP range block.|3=Jayron32.talk.contribs 04:25, 29 March 2009 (UTC)}}

Hang on - I'm working on it. --Anthony.bradbury^"talk" 17:30, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

I don't find either a rangeblock, IP block or for that matter a username block relating to you. Could you please post the block message here? --Anthony.bradbury^"talk" 17:35, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

This is the text: "You are currently unable to edit pages on Wikipedia. You can still read pages, but you cannot edit, change, or create them. Editing from 88.108.128.0/17 (your account, IP address, or IP address range) has been disabled by Lar for the following reason(s): CheckUser evidence has determined that this IP address (or network) has been used abusively. This address (or network) has been blocked temporarily or permanently to prevent further abuse. In extreme cases, an entire network may be blocked to prevent an abusive user from continually changing their IP address in order to evade blocks or abusing multiple accounts. If you are a registered user and are seeing this message, please follow these instructions. Administrators: CheckUsers are privy to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy, and therefore must be consulted before this block can be removed. Users: If you already have an account in good standing, you may request IP block exemption to bypass this block. Post an unblock request to your user talk page.

This IP range is blocked to prevent vandalism. Bona fide users should please request unblocking and checking for "IP block exemption" -- apologies for the disruption, and thank you for understanding

This block has been set to expire: 19:12, 21 June 2009. Even if blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page and contact other editors and administrators by e-mail. Note: If you have JavaScript enabled, please use the [show] links across from each header to show more information." --Big picture (talk) 17:49, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Blocking admin contacted

I will contact User:Lar to ask why this rangeblock was placed. Looking at your editing history, you will probably be eligible for IP Block Exemption status, which will allow you to edit through this block. Please be patient while we get further input from Lar, but if everything checks out from his end, we will work on getting your editing turned back on ASAP. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 04:25, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

This range block is to address persistent vandalism from a particular user. I do not see a correlation to that user, and see no CU related reason not to grant an IPBE. If Jayron has reviewed contributions and feels an IPBE is warranted, please feel free. Thanks. ++Lar: t/c 09:05, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

I will be assigning IPBE presently. You should be free to edit in a minute or two... --Jayron32.talk.contribs 18:26, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
