Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the article Emirates Environmental Group - EEG, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition was deleted under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text—which means allowing other people to modify it—then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later."

Hello - thanks for the message. I'll try to help but I don't have much to go on.

First, the Moayacoub account is not and has never been blocked. However, a particular IP address _can_ be blocked even if a registered user is editing from that IP address. Most IP blocks we do are that way, to block anonymous editors who are vandalizing or disrupting our work while allowing registered editors to edit without obstruction.

However, I cannot see the IP address from which you are editing. All IP addresses are cloaked, and only special people called checkusers can see what IP address is associated with a particular username. Because I'm not a checkuser, I cannot tell if the IP address you're talking about is still blocked or not. If it is indeed blocked from editing and someone at your IP address would like to edit, they should follow the instructions they see when they try to save an edit.

I'm sorry I can't be more help, but until someone at that IP address tries to edit and sees those instructions we don't have enough information to do anything about the IP block. I hope I was clear, because I want to help you, but I can't until I have a little more info. Thanks - KrakatoaKatie 02:25, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
