Information icon Hello, I'm Waxworker. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Them's Fightin' Herds, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Waxworker (talk) 16:04, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Anonymous users from this IP address have been blocked temporarily from editing for persistently making disruptive edits.
If you believe that there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Ad Orientem (talk) 04:09, 6 March 2025 (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.
Why you are seeing this message: Your current IP address is blocked from editing Wikipedia because it appears to belong to a VPN or proxy service.

These types of services are commonly used for abusive editing and circumventing Wikipedia policies, so Wikipedia blocks them as a preventive measure — even if you personally haven't done anything wrong.

How to resolve this:

  • Turn off VPNs, proxies, or tools such as iCloud Private Relay (for Apple users) or Microsoft Edge Secure Network. This is the most frequent reason that users encounter this block.
  • Try a different network connection. Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, or use a home network instead of a public or work connection.
  • Whitelist Wikipedia. You may be able to whitelist Wikipedia from your VPN service so that connections to Wikipedia aren't tunneled through the VPN. Instructions for whitelisting Wikipedia on iCloud Private Relay can be found here.
  • Still blocked? If you believe that you are not running an anonymizing proxy or Tor, you should consider checking your network configuration to verify that this is actually the case. Network configurations can be changed without your knowledge, sometimes due to malware. In truly exceptional circumstances, you may request IP block exemption. Approval is limited and based on specific criteria, and you should only request it if you have no other way to edit Wikipedia.

Note: These blocks are applied because of the configuration of your network or internet connection. They are not applied as a result of your actions, nor are they applied in order to discourage you from editing Wikipedia. We always appreciate good-faith contributors to this project, and we want to help you with being able to edit Wikipedia again.

How to appeal if you are confident that your network connection does not use an open proxy or VPN service:
If you are confident that you are not connecting through an open proxy, web host, VPN service, or using Tor, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of an open proxy provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you are certain that your IP address is in fact not an open proxy provider.
Information for administrators:
Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using open proxies, web hosts, VPN services, or using Tor in very exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to grant the IP block exemption user right, a CheckUser must take a look at the account first. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.
