{{unblock | reason=i have been caught in a block that is not meant for me (see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Guinness_World_Records&action=edit§ion=5). my IP address is 196.44.180.235 and not the one listed on the block. thank you [[User:Jashca|Jashca]] ([[User talk:Jashca#top|talk]]) 11:58, 11 October 2011 (UTC)}}
- Hi. I can't find a block on you or that IP - and I can't really see what that Guinness thing has to do with you seeming to be blocked. What message are you getting? Peridon (talk) 13:01, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
- You appear to be editing from behind a open proxy. Do you know why this would be the case? TNXMan 15:17, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
{{unblock | reason=thank you for your response.
i have no idea what an open proxy is. i live in bulawayo in zimbabwe and use a dial up connection through yo!africa.com. i am an only user in this company and no other computers on this particular connection. perhaps that is the problem? maybe all dial up users in this town use a couple of servers that are connected to an open proxy? i have no idea how these things work to be honest.
i have never had a problem editing before.
the message i get is: (if you look at the end it has listed an IP address)
