Block message:
autoblock message
- Blocking administrator: blocking admin (talk • blocks)
Decline reason: You need to properly fill in the fields if you wish to have the autoblock lifted. Yamla (talk) 16:13, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
- I reposted the request with the fields properly filled in this time, I think. Thank you. Matthew at Deloitte (talk) 17:19, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
Note if your IP address is blocked (perhaps as a proxy or a VPN), make sure you disable your proxy/vpn and wait a full 24 hours for the block to clear. --Yamla (talk) 16:13, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Block message:
The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider.
Decline reason: That is not your Internet address. You can find your Internet address using a tool like WhatIsMyIPAddress. Note, though, in basically all the cases I've reviewed, this turns out to be someone who is indeed using a proxy or a VPN. If so, we won't be lifting the block. You will need to disable your proxy/vpn and wait a full 24 hours. Yamla (talk) 17:51, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry for the repeated tries here - I am brand new to this. Taking over responsibility for a colleague who has left our team. My VPN is not on. I will try requesting once more with the IP address listed via the tool you shared. Thank you for your help. Matthew at Deloitte (talk) 19:22, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
- No problem, by the way. I know this is frustrating and a bit difficult to navigate. :) --Yamla (talk) 19:26, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you! I think I have the VPN turned off now. I will wait 24 hrs. and try again. Matthew at Deloitte (talk) 19:57, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
- Sometimes, you are able to immediately edit. But if you still can't after 24 hours, give us a shout. Good luck, and a very sincere thanks for declaring your paid editing status already on your user page. --Yamla (talk) 19:58, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Block message:
The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider.
Decline reason: We'll see how the below works out. If not, I suggest you go to WP:IPECPROXY and follow the instructions there to request IP block exemption. — Daniel Case (talk) 07:43, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
That IP address is indeed a proxy. It belongs to the Symantec endpoint VPN. You need to disable your VPN and wait a full 24 hours if you wish to edit here. --Yamla (talk) 19:25, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks again. I tried today and it looks like I am no longer blocked. I appreciate all your help. Matthew at Deloitte (talk) 20:55, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
- Excellent, very happy to clear that. You are welcome (but not obligated) to remove all the content from this talk page if you wish. Happy editing. --Yamla (talk) 20:57, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
