Re: blocking

If a registered user gets blocked (in many cases due to a patently offensive username), and then attempts to edit after being blocked, whatever IP address that user is attempting to edit from gets automatically blocked for 24 hours. This appears on the Special:Ipblocklist as:

[SomeTimestamp] [SomeAdmin] blocked #[SomeBlockNumber] (expires [SomeTimestamp + 24 hours]) (Unblock) (Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "[SomeBadUser]". The reason given for [SomeBadUser]'s block is: "[SomeGoodReason]")

This is intended to reduce the effect of vandals who vandalize with multiple accounts, whilst still protecting the privacy of their actual IP address. In the future, you can place something on your talk page like this:

{{unblock|my IP address was recently used by [SomeBadUser]}}

That will be get attention more quickly and effectively than e-mail. — Jun. 27, '06 [11:12] <freak|talk>

Overquoting

Hi, Lindsay, hope you don't mind me leaving this note here - on articles like Collusion (poetry collection), please don't make sections entirely comprised of blurbs/reviews of the book. Yes, even if you're going to rewrite them. As per the non-free content guidelines, we really can't store large chunks of copyrighted material. Small quotes only, and well integrated. Yes, even if you're planning to rewrite them at a later stage - if your writing process works best like that, then could you please do that bit offline, in a notepad file on your personal computer maybe? Sorry, I know this is inconvenient. GreenLipstickLesbian 💌🦋 08:19, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
