Anonymous users from this IP address have been blocked temporarily from editing for making (or attempting to make) disruptive edits that triggered the edit filter.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Alexf^(talk) 15:35, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address and you are an uninvolved editor with a registered account, you may continue to edit by logging in.

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've been making productive edits all day. Please explain: how did I trigger an edit filter? 2A01:4C8:49:B2A2:8453:DBFF:FE05:6E2F (talk) 15:37, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Please see

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.

Request reason:

The block was not necessary to prevent damage or disruption, since in every case of section blanking I gave an edit summary of why the blanking was consistent with WP guidelines and policy. I can't see a single edit in my edit history that could reasonably be called vandalism. Please take another look, thanks. 2A01:4C8:49:B2A2:8453:DBFF:FE05:6E2F (talk) 16:34, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You aren't blocked for vandalism, you are blocked for disruptive editing that triggered the edit filter, but you do not discuss that in this request. 331dot (talk) 20:11, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

My mobile IP address has changed, but I will of course respect the block if it's upheld.
I'm finding it difficult to respond, though I'm trying my best. The block log says "vandalism", so I assumed that this was why I was blocked. Can someone please, please explain to me what I did wrong? What was disruptive, for example, about my blanking multiple TV guide sections added by the same editor, with the explanatory edit summary

WP:NOTTVGUIDE? If I'm in breach of a policy for that, then I will stop immediately. 2A01:4C8:49:B2A2:D8D9:97FF:FE57:E2CC (talk) 20:49, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply

Accept reason:

Unblocking, I can only see constructive edits and policy compliant removals. 331dot, the user was indeed blocked for vandalism. Alexf, can you explain what made you label their edits as vandalism? Widr (talk) 20:58, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Widr Odd, I'd swear that I saw what I put in my comment above in the block log, but now it says "vandalism". Must have been confused. 331dot (talk) 21:05, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Widr: You asked about a vandalism block. It wasn't (if it says so, it is a mistake). What it was is a repeatedly triggering filters temporary block. If a user sees their edits do not go through. there is a time when you must ask yourself, why. Stop doing it, and investigate, or ask. You would think a user will figure after 3 or 4 tries that something is happening. He did not stop. He did 20 tries, at different times of the same day. -- Alexf^(talk) 21:55, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Alexf: I'm still mystified. What do you mean by "their edits do not go through"? What should I have noticed? 2A01:4C8:49:B2A2:D8D9:97FF:FE57:E2CC (talk) 22:29, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Alexf, that's incredibly poor explanation for such a bad block. Legitimate edits get caught by filters all the time, so you should never concentrate only on filter hits without looking at the actual context. The user clearly explained in the edit summaries why they removed certain content. The fact that you don't realize that you labeled your block as vandalism makes this even more bizarre. Widr (talk) 22:38, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. Live and learn. I'll be more careful. -- Alexf^(talk) 01:46, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users.
