User is blocked From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. You have attempted to edit a page, either by clicking the "edit this page" tab or by following a red link.
Your user name or IP address has been blocked by David Gerard. The reason given is this: This IP address has been blocked because it is believed to be an anonymous or open proxy. Editing Wikipedia from these proxies is currently not allowed. Please consider the points below and if you still would like to contribute to Wikipedia from such a proxy, please e-mail jwales at wikia dot com and he will consider your case and make appropriate arrangements.
If you are merely concerned about your IP address being publicly available, we recommend that you create an account and log in, which will prevent other editors from seeing your address. If you have such a severe personal situation that editing Wikipedia with the level of anonymity provided by an IP number is dangerous to you, then we recommend that you refrain from editing Wikipedia. If you did not know that you were editing from such a proxy, you or your internet service provider may have a poorly configured system, or a trojan, that causes your system to act as an anonymous proxy. Please try to fix this security hole. You can email David Gerard or one of the other
administrators to discuss the block. You may also edit your user talk page if you wish. If you believe that our blocking policy was violated, you may discuss the block publicly on the WikiEN-l mailing list.
Note that you may not use the "email this user" feature unless you have a Wikipedia account and a valid email address registered in your user preferences.
Your IP address is ##.###.###.###. Please include this address, along with your username, in any queries you make.
If you would like to know when the block will expire, please see the block list.
If you need to see the wiki text of an article, you may wish to use the Export pages feature.
[edit] Innocent? Sometimes IP ranges or shared proxies are blocked from editing Wikipedia. This means that innocent people sometimes can't edit. If this is the case, it should be explained in the reason given above.
Also, some individual dynamic IP addresses may be blocked, usually for a 24 hour period. Occasionally, users with dynamic IPs will be blocked accidentally, due to that fact that their present IP was previously used by a blocked user.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. If this problem affects you repeatedly, and you would like to help us resolve this issue, you will need to contact a Wikipedia administrator and your internet service provider (ISP). The administrator should be able to obtain the time, date, and IP address used for the inappropriate behaviour in question, and describe what the problem was. You can then pass this information on to your ISP, explaining that you are unable to edit Wikipedia due to the inappropriate actions of another person using this ISP, and ask them to remedy the problem.
[edit] Just reading? You are not blocked from reading pages, only from editing them. If you were only intending to read a page and are seeing this message, you probably followed a red link. These are links to pages that do not exist, so they take users to an editing screen. You should have no problem if you follow only blue links.
