Template:Rangeblock
 | Editing from this range has been disabled (blocked) by an administrator in response to abuse.
Editing by unregistered users from this IP address range has been blocked. In rare cases, usually in response to serious abuse, logged-in editing may also be blocked. Depending on the size of the blocked range, the block may affect anything from very small numbers to several thousands of IP addresses. If you do not believe that you are the person this block is intended for, please follow the instructions below: If you do not have an account: If you do not currently have an account and wish to bypass this block, an account can be created to allow you to edit. Please follow the instructions on this page to request an account under your preferred username. It may take a few days to process your request, but we will process it as quickly as possible. If you have an account: Please log in to edit. If you still cannot edit, please place {{unblock}} on your talk page and make reference to this message; you may wish to ping the blocking administrator. You may also wish to email them via the "email this user" function. Administrators: Please consult the blocking administrator before altering or lifting this block, and consider consulting with a CheckUser before granting an IP block exemption to an editor using this range. Note that large or hard (logged-in editing blocked) rangeblocks are usually only made in response to serious abuse, and the blocking admin may have information about this block which is essential to reviewing any unblock request. |
