"Verifiable" doesn't mean "sourced". If you provide multiple reliable third party sources in which the subject is the main focus of the article, then you can recreate it. User:Zoe|(talk) 09:35, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked Editing while on the Road

Received following message: -CheckUser evidence has determined that this IP address has been used abusively; the address has been blocked temporarily or permanently to prevent further abuse. -If you are a registered user and are seeing this message, please post on your talk page, with a note referencing this message. Please be sure to include the IP address (which should appear at the bottom of the block message). -Administrators should not undo any block that is specifically called a "Checkuser" block. Period. The Checkuser knows something that you don't. If the unblock template goes up you need to ask the Checkuser why the block is there. The Checkuser might not tell you, but they will review the situation and decide whether the block can be lifted. It may not be obvious why that block is in place, but there is a reason.[1] (see: block log • current autoblocks) -Your IP address is 208.54.95.129.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I am travelling on business for the next month and occassionally contribute. Apparently, the block is on the IP Address for Team Mobile, not me personally. The address is dynamic assigned, so I have no control on the assignment. RandMKaos 03:46, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You are autoblocked; please follow the instructions below. — Sandstein 05:55, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Clearing an autoblock

Please note that we cannot unblock you at this time because you have not given us the information we need to look into your block. It is very likely that you are not personally blocked. If you are prevented from editing, it may be because you are autoblocked or blocked because of your IP address. Without further details there is nothing further we can do to review your block or lift it. If you are still autoblocked by the time you read this message, please follow these instructions:

If you have a Wikipedia account, please ensure that you are logged in.
Your account name will be visible in the top right of this page if you are.
If it isn't, try bypassing your web browser's cache.
Try and edit the Wikipedia:Sandbox by clicking here.
Copy the {{unblock-auto|...}} code generated for you under the "Autoblocked?" section.
Paste the code at the bottom of your user talk page and click save.

If you are not blocked from editing the sandbox then the autoblock on your IP address has already expired and you can resume editing. Sandstein 05:55, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Senior Wikipedians

WikiProject Wikipedians aged 70 and older has been inactive for some time. The following three proposals may help invigorate this project.

Change the name of this project to WikiProject Senior Wikipedians.^[a]
Open membership in this project to users who are at least 60 years of age and have made at least 50 edits in the past year.^[b]
Open supporting membership in this project to users who are less than 60 years old but have made at least 50 edits in the past year and support the goals of this project.^[c]

Suggested goals for this project:

To support collaboration and communication among members for the advancement and improvement of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia movement.
To encourage older people, retired people, and soon-to-be-retired people to participate in Wikipedia both for the advancement of the encyclopedia and for their own personal enjoyment.
To encourage older people to share their experience and expertise for the improvement of Wikipedia.
To encourage older users to use their experience and expertise to help younger and less experienced users.
To encourage participation in local and regional Wikimedia events.
To sponsor Wikipedia meetings and classes at places where older people gather.
To advocate for the elimination of ageism and sexism in Wikipedia and the Wikimedia movement.

Notes

^ The current name of this project, WikiProject Wikipedians aged 70 and older, is somewhat cumbersome and excludes participation by any users under the age of 70 years.
^ This current minimum age limit of this project is 70 years. A minimum age limit of 60 years should permit the participation of most retired users. The minimum activity level of 50 edits per year is arbitrary. A minimum activity level indicates continued interest. Members who do not meet the minimum activity level shall be moved to inactive status. Members who have died shall be moved to memorial status.
^ A new class of Supporting Members allows those users under 60 years to support the goals of the project. Users approaching the age of 60 years may wish to become supporting members in anticipation of reaching the minimum age limit for members.

Please add your suggestions for this project at Senior Wikipedians. Thank you, Buaidh talk e-mail 01:15, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
