Request reason:

Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is 76.169.74.243 . Is it appropriate to block very well established residential ISPs because the same cookie may also visit wikipedia under a VPN IP? This system policy seems highly suspicious, as VPNs are a common tool used by millions for legitimate purpose, both outside and inside wikipedia. This is highly inconvenient and I strongly suggest this system policy be changed immediately, or else. 76.169.74.243 (talk) 16:44, 30 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

Once you disable your VPN, you need to wait a full 24 hours for the block to clear. Yamla (talk) 19:32, 30 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

May 2022 edit

  Hello, I'm Amadeus1999. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Husayn ibn Ali, 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. ★Ama TALK CONTRIBS 00:06, 2 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
