{{unblock reviewed|What? Why would you pick right now to give out a username block?--71.247.243.173 12:56, 29 August 2006 (UTC)|decline=Simply because you were able to create an account with this username does not make it appropriate. Please see WP:U for more information as to why. --malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 12:59, 29 August 2006 (UTC)}} {{unblock|There are a half a dozen system ops on the reference desk, i've been using it for several days, if there was actually a reason for a block, someone would have done it a long time ago--[[User:71-247-243-173|71.247.243.173]] 13:00, 29 August 2006 (UTC)}}
- ...Names that look like an IP address? It is my IP address, as you can already see--71.247.243.173 13:02, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
I see that you've now volunteered to take over maintenance of the reference desk personally, good luck, the whole thing is a mess, you have your work cut out for you--71.247.243.173 13:04, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
- I've been using my IP as my name for over two days now, I have almost 300 edits, that's well beyond the threshold for a username block, please someone clear either the block on my IP, or on my name--71.247.243.173 13:08, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
- Ok, how about this, in the last 2 days, I've done 2 and a half weeks worth of maintenance on the reference desks, ask Road Wizard (talk · contribs) or Geni (talk · contribs) neither of whom expressed any concern at my username, the later being a sysops--71.247.243.173 13:12, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
- Or, just continue to ignore me, because you'd rather have an uncontested block, then admit an error--71.247.243.173 13:13, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
{{unblock-un|71247243173}} There wasn't really any reason for a username block in the first place, but If it's the only way I can complete the CS desk archive that I started, then so be it--71.247.243.173 13:20, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
- 250 edits, and I get a username block--71.247.243.173 13:23, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
If this is just a usernameblock, how come you also blocked my IP?--71.247.243.173 13:25, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
