hey trying to add shimazu as a playable clan on shogun total war 1

It says you've blocked my IP from editing but I've never edited on wiki but since this is the case would you mind adding this info? Thanks!!! -Cole 2607:FB90:5D22:BAF0:0:25:E58C:E901 (talk) 02:36, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello, you can go and request and account, have it created, then make the edit yourself. Please make sure it's supported by reliable sources, though. Graham87 (talk) 02:43, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
Thanks very much, but there's no need to reply to old messages like this. Graham87 (talk) 08:53, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
Hello, I'm sorry about the inconvenience. I've linked above to the "request an account" process that you can follow to be able to make an edit. I only hide pure trolling and name-calling; since your messages are not those things, I won't hide them. Graham87 (talk) 06:48, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

Blocked from editing because of what?

I made a legitimate temporary correction regarding Sean Spicer's incumbency as the White House Press Secretary, since the day and I am writing this he resigned from office. 2607:FB90:9152:AEDA:89AC:17C2:31BE:A1D5 (talk) 19:11, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Your IP is in the range of the dog and rapper vandal, and that is why you were blocked. To edit, please log in. ~ Graham87 (talk) 21:22, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

I already emailed you. What username would you like? Graham87 (talk) 03:27, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
I too just found out my IP address is blocked too under the dog and rapper vandal. I would like to know how you are allowed to block hundreds of IP a dresses? I have never attempted to make any edit on any page till today. 2607:FB90:4054:B660:0:1:517A:5301 (talk) 16:13, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
I live in Florida, I've always lived in Florida. Never been to Pennsylvania where the dog and rapper vandal IP addresses originate from so I'm not understanding why I'm blocked. 2607:FB90:4054:B660:0:1:517A:5301 (talk) 16:16, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

I just found another link to users that you have blocked. It seems like you lumped many of us metro PCS/T Mobile customers together. I have never had a Wikipedia account but I just requested one and I'm waiting for the email yo log in. I still dont understand why you cannot block the individual IP a dresses that are causing problems instead of punishing those of us that are in the "range" my IP address has never been in the range of Pennsylvania. I think you are one rude arrogant person. 2607:FB90:4054:B660:0:1:517A:5301 (talk) 16:25, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
Yea i have never made a edit but im blocked from it. Metropcs user too. 2607:FB90:948D:3BDF:30C2:69D8:49C2:72F4 (talk) 03:02, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
I'm sorry you've been having problems. However, IP addresses in that range change so often that I had no choice but to take such a drastic action. Graham87 (talk) 01:24, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
Mr. Graham87, know that you've blocked IP addresses in San Francisco and Bay Area, where the Wikipedia main office is located. I will definitely go in-person and prove to them that what you are doing undermines Wikipedia. You just block thousands of IP addresses for no apparent reason. Sad. 2607:FB90:A639:C484:0:10:B7E6:2701 (talk) 06:19, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
Hi. I'm having a similar issue as well with this and it is a brand new phon. I've never had an account on Wikipedia and I live in California nowhere near the dog rapper. Can you please advise as to how I am supposed to create a new account with a blocked message. 2607:FB90:4913:92A1:A5C2:AE9D:E6C3:BFED (talk) 21:53, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
Hello, go to the Wikipedia:Request an account page on the English Wikipedia. Graham87 (talk) 02:43, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
This can't be serious. I'm blocked for who knows what??? How do I correct this? 2607:FB90:24B4:1A13:3C1D:3DE4:EBE0:30EE (talk) 20:19, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
You're blocked because your IP range has been used by the dog and rapper vandal along with many other miscreants. To edit, use an account. Graham87 (talk) 00:39, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
I am also blocked from editing. I have never tried to edit an artical till now. 2607:FB90:711D:EEFA:F9D4:C954:EA08:FB3 (talk) 22:22, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
Can you please stop blocking these IP addresses? It is very inconvenient for us and the guy is using a VPN so he can still edit the pages as much as he wants, blocking IP addresses solves nothing and creates many inconveniences for being blocked because someone used my IP address in a VPN. Please just unblock all of those IP addresses involved in this case, they are actual people that don't deserve this. 2607:FB90:8167:2A4E:714A:6FF1:44EE:1F97 (talk) 23:50, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
Extraordinary circumstances require extraordinary measures. All VPN should be blocked anyway. Graham87 (talk) 00:27, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
This arbitrary IP block has caused many wikipedia pages to decay and display outdated information. We will no longer be contributing to wikipedia as it is now neither a source of up-to-date information nor community building. 2607:FB90:9455:6ACC:792B:AB27:8885:9B01 (talk) 19:33, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
I have never used Wikipedia and I’m blocked. What is this amateur hour?? Have you ever studied computer science or data forensics to make such a decision? 2607:FB90:A496:F236:90BE:CF7B:F22D:AD70 (talk) 02:57, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi I've never had an account on any wiki site just found out about this. But I'm prevented from making one because of the dog and rapper guy how my IP address is in this range is weird. I was trying to do so from a cell phone which is my only internet portal. And live in the south west U.S. anyway can you contact me at boodoo302@gmail.com to let me know how to proceed. 2607:FB90:7287:9AB7:3869:E5C2:C7CE:8696 (talk) 05:25, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

This guy is ridiculous. He has blocked God-knows how many people from using one of Wikipedia's major features because he can't handle a troll. Or is too lazy to. If this was the correct way to deal with these kind of vandal situations, no-one would ever be able to edit wikipedia. I mean just think about it. 2607:FB90:A2FE:46E6:0:2:6DD1:2F01 (talk) 19:29, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
As I frequent Wikipedia often, and donate $6 every month, I’m no longer donating to Wikipedia because of this. Absolutely ridiculous that I was blocked. 2607:FB90:7C82:C04D:941A:C2DE:FF62:A14F (talk) 04:00, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
Man I'm in Kentucky on MetroPCS, my IP shouldn't be blocked from a state-length away like this. I just wanted to fix some frikkin grammar on a Tron page. It's not worth the song-and-dance. Not gonna bother waiting four months, either. Feel free to dig up the issue I found, Graham, 'cuz Tron's the only hint I'll give.
If a VPN is the only work around that I'm willing to bother with, no wonder this 'vandal' took to them. 2607:FCC8:A50E:7100:B96D:4620:28FD:A4D2 (talk) 22:20, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
Agreed, this is ridiculous. To let most of the U.S. population to edit, the 2607:fb90::/32 range has to be unblocked. It seems that the "dog and rapper vandal" is the cause of the block; however, many innocent users have been affected, including us and Ron liebman (a long-time regular contributor to SABR). This just doesn't seem fair at best, and no actions have ever been considered by the administrators. Considering that one of an administrator's tasks is to accommodate other users, this is very dissapointing. This has totally gone out of proportion. Xavier Nady (talk) 21:24, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

This is completely ridiculous garbage. I've been trying for days - DAYS - to fix an error in with no avail because this breaks the login system. I'm in a rural area. Mobile hotspot is my ONLY internet. Thank GOD I visited a friend and brought my laptop so I could ACTUALLY sign into my account. If not, there'd be some garbage on that page about who knows what forever.
Like previous commentor, I'm ending my donations effective now. Someone with this much power doing this is clearly narcissistic and in no way fit for the position. Maybe Wikipedia deserves to burn so a better place can form. Taciturasa (talk) 05:03, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

User editor page

You blocked my user account, any particular reasoning by that decision?

Also I am unable to edit or create my user page. The save functionality has been completely disabled, trying to add simple text to the page. Have my full permissions been restored and this user page issue able to be fix? Dominiquekey (talk) 16:55, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

Nope, I've never blocked your account. Log in and edit. I can see no reason that you'd have trouble creating your user page. What's the exact error message? Graham87 (talk) 00:25, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for your edits here!

It's great to have you around on this wiki as well. Have a lovely week! Elitre (WMF) (talk) 09:32, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for your note! It's nice to be appreciated. Graham87 (talk) 09:35, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello

I was recently blocked by you from being able to edit a Wikipedia page. I have no reason why. I wanted to correct mistakes made on said page about The Citizens party of Catalonia, which has erroneous errors. 

    Errors I wanted to correct were for instance it being center right, which is blatantly false (How can you be center and it's parliament party being an alliance for liberals and democrats?). 
     Another error is one of its ideologies being "liberalism" when it is against Catalonian independence.

Please allow me to edit Wikipedia. 2607:FB90:5C48:B1D7:0:9:10A7:A801 (talk) 22:40, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

Ah yes. Well the statements in there are extensively referenced so a new user trying to correct them woudn't go down too well. Graham87 (talk) 02:32, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
Whoever wrote that doesn't know what they're talking about. That political party is not center-right, nor does it have anything to do with "liberalism". 2607:FB90:44B0:DCE7:0:4B:9746:D701 (talk) 03:53, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Why did you block my IP address? Who are you and why do you have that authority? 107.77.225.116 (talk) 18:15, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Because of disruption from the range. I'm an admin and they can block IP addresses. Graham87 (talk) 00:34, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

why not allowed?

What have I to do with dogs and vandals?

 I have 2 beagles. does that count? I Don't understand!! 2607:FB90:4285:6C62:0:1F:272:8601 (talk) 03:19, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

I'm a Wikipedia admin. Your IP has been caught up in my dog and rapper vandal block; you haven't done anything wrong. Graham87 (talk) 01:12, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

I have been blocked and I haven't edited any page and it says I cannot sign up because I have been blocked. What do I do to get unblocked. Please help. It also says something about dog and rapper at the bottom of the page. 2607:FB90:828A:9428:BCE8:C347:FF70:C8C3 (talk) 07:37, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

Sorry to disturb you, but what is this dog and rapper thing about anyways? And why can't that user just login like us and get away with what he/she is doing? Seems to defeat the point of blocking when that user can just login. 2607:FB90:828A:9428:BCE8:C347:FF70:C8C3 (talk) 07:45, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
The dog and rapper vandal is a vandal who constantly edit-wars about heights of dog breeds and minutiae about rapper artcles. All their accounts have been blocked; that's why they can't just log in to edit. Graham87 (talk) 07:47, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

Because of collateral damage from the dog and rapper vandal. You should be able to edit with an account. Graham87 (talk) 03:23, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
Ah, I see it's because my IP address is in a similar range to someone with whom you disagree as to the weights of various dogs. No matter, I am not this person so please remove this blockade. 2607:FB90:703F:C846:3C20:742C:C8C9:3BC (talk) 03:26, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Nope.Aonymous editng is impossible. Graham87 (talk) 03:29, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
I can't; they are a remarkably pernicious vandal. Graham87 (talk) 03:28, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
You aren't supposed to range block indefinitely. Do you have checkuser access? Collateral damage is very high in this case. 2607:FB90:703F:C846:3C20:742C:C8C9:3BC (talk) 03:35, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
Extraordinary circumstances require extraordinary measures. I myself don't have checkuser access, but checkusers have indeed reviewed this block. Graham87 (talk) 03:37, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
You've caught up a number of us government employees in this range. We can't register as users but feel very strongly that some information needs to be included in this discussion. 2607:FB90:703F:C846:3C20:742C:C8C9:3BC (talk) 03:39, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
Switch to non-mobile Internet then. You can also use the request an account process to create an account. Or email me with an email adress/username combo and I can create an account. Graham87 (talk) 03:42, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
Those are not workable options. We cannot create accounts - we need anonymity. I don't think you've balanced the equities correctly here. I will escalate through email. 2607:FB90:703F:C846:3C20:742C:C8C9:3BC (talk) 03:47, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
Why do you not want to create an account? Your account does not need emails or other personal information, it is only used on Wikimedia/MediaWiki wikis. You won't be sent anything unless the wikis know your email.

Why am I blocked?

Hello Mr. Graham87, I tried to make an account with Wikipedia today and found that my IP address is blocked by you due to abuse in Dog and Rapper Vandal from Pennsylvania. I do not understand why I have been blocked since I have never had an Wikipedia account ever and I have never been to or live in Pennsylvania. I would greatly appreciate being unblocked by you. I will also be reaching out to Wikipedia itself to take steps to find out why I am blocked by you. Thank you! 2607:FB90:5033:645E:B0CC:5D53:CF81:9C3B (talk) 19:31, 20 October 2018 (UTC)

Hello, unfortunately the block affects all TMobile customers in the US; this was the only way to slow down the dog and rapper vandal. However you can request an account. Graham87 (talk) 00:23, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

Blocked for no reason

I make edits maybe once a year, making referrals to pages or correcting spelling mistakes, it appears I have been banned for "CU-prompted rangeblock" by "Drmies", why ? Can I get unbanned? I honestly didn't do anything. Ladarkphoenix (talk) 16:27, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

I'm happy for you, Graham! Cause I gotta go teach, and I'm sure the students haven't read the stuff, and there was no coffee this morning... Take care, ~ Drmies (talk) 15:17, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
