Welcome

Hello, Famouskiwi, and Welcome to Wikipedia!

Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you enjoy the encyclopedia and want to stay. As a first step, you may wish to read the Introduction.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me at my talk page – I'm happy to help. Or, you can ask your question at the New contributors' help page.

Here are some more resources to help you as you explore and contribute to the world's largest encyclopedia...

Finding your way around:

• Table of contents / Department directory

• The Wikipedia Adventure (a tutorial orienting you with Wikipedia)

Need help?

• Questions – a guide on where to ask questions
• Cheatsheet – quick reference on Wikipedia's mark-up codes
• Wikipedia's 5 pillars – an overview of Wikipedia's foundations

• Article wizard – a Wizard to help you create articles
• The simplified ruleset – a summary of Wikipedia's most important rules
• Guide to Wikipedia – a thorough step-by-step guide to Wikipedia

How you can help:

• Contributing to Wikipedia – a guide on how you can help

• Community portal – Wikipedia's hub of activity

Additional tips...

• Please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically insert your "signature" (your username and a date stamp). The or button, on the tool bar above Wikipedia's text editing window, also does this.
• If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills without changing the mainspace, the Sandbox is for you.

Decline reason:

That IP address belongs to Akamai and is a confirmed proxy. You'll need to disable your proxy and wait a full 24 hours for the block to clear. Yamla (talk) 21:14, 26 February 2022 (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.

Heya Yamla, I found the problem - it’s because I’m using Apple iCloud relay (which hides your IP address to prevent tracking, which obviously interferes with Wikipedia) but no prob, I’ll just disable it when using Wikipedia, as Wikipedia haven’t yet figured out a solution for this new feature Famouskiwi (talk) 21:21, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

Yeap. Wikipedia blocks proxies like the Apple iCloud relay, unfortunately. --Yamla (talk) 21:22, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
