User talk:Salty3dog: Difference between revisions

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 08:29, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

20191009 - first attempt: Unsure if I put the entire explanation between the { braces.

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

Salty3dog (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

Request reason:

collateral damage.

Notes:

• In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
• Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=collateral damage. |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=collateral damage. |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:

{{unblock reviewed |1=collateral damage. |accept = accept reason here ~~~~}}

I reside in China and am a regular Wikipedia user and occasional editor. I use a VPN to for internet access from China. Yesterday/today I attempted small minor edits on two different pages. On the first, I was blocked and then made the edit after changing the VPN from Hong Kong to LA. Today I was blocked again on a different page and then my account appears to have been blocked because of multiple login and edit attempts. See details at the end of this post.

I am not trying to circumvent any policies and I understand the need to block ranges of IPs due to vandalism. For me to access the internet from China requires that I use a constantly changing set of VPN IPs and proxies, so there is no sense in requesting an unblock for any specific IP. Is it possible to request an account that I would log into using a confirmed email or some other third-factor identification?
