Thanks for letting me know. I want to use "Fan" as my cloak name if possible. '''[[User:范|<span style="color:#FF4D40;">GY Fan</span>]][[User talk:范|<span style="color:salmon ; text-shadow: 0pt 1px 4px salmon;">★</span> ]]''' 02:31, 28 February 2024 (UTC) |

Recently you (AmandaNP) manually blocked me supposedly because I tried to edit from a blocked IP range. However I am now unable to edit from '''any '''IP. So feel free to block any unapproved IP but I don't want to be blocked from editing Wikepdia. Right now I am partially unable to edit Wikipedia, particularly VisualEdit and WikEd are totally invisible to me. This even though I have stopped using the blocked IPv6 IP range. In fact I even blocked my computer from using ANY IPv6. Yet I am still blocked by Wikipedia from editing. Even using a totally different laptop (that never had the same IP and vpn software that caused the original problem) I am still blocked from editing. Please lift it. Thanks in advance.

:{{ping|Loginnigol}} You haven't given me any information about your block, so my hands are tied to investigate this unless you want me to just checkuser your account. As suggested on your English Wikipedia talkpage, UTRS is usually the method used for this. -- [[User talk:AmandaNP|<span style="color:white;background-color:#8A2DB8"><b>Amanda</b> (she/her)</span>]] 03:01, 14 November 2023 (UTC) |

::Do that if that's what is needed to sort this out (UTRS). Tell me what (exactly) I should do if I can help from my end. |
|||
::Because for me this whole thing is rather very odd. I am not totally blocked from editing Wikipedia by all means, but only from editing in certain ways, using certain methods. I have no idea what to make of it. I came to you because I was notified by Wikipedia (en) that you blocked me. It was a square pop up message that showed at the top right corner of the browser as soon as I hit the Wikipedia edit button, notifying me you have manually blocked me or my account or my whatever. Then it also mentioned a couple of IP ranges (IPV6 type IPs) that I used as the reason for my block. That IPV6 led me to conclude that a VPN type software I use is the source of of the conflict (the software connects me by default to IPV6 IP ranges that are evidently on the blocked list from Wikipedia editing point of view. Normally (before all this problem started at the beginning of this month) what I did is disable that app in order to proceed editing Wikipedia. That worked fine for years. But not any more. Now the problem shows up even in a computer that never had that software installed. So I am blocked in some way from user-account point of view but like I said the blockade is not a total blockade from editing by any means (in that case a different huge page-wide pop up will show up that tells me that I am unable to edit at all. My problem is different from that. |
|||
::So I don't even know how to reproduce this pop up message that is now gone (I didn't save it). But I already noticed something was up before (all is happening within this month) because I was and still am not able to use WikEd gadget that I have enabled. That was the first problem that I noticed. WikEd's editing panels just didn't show up at all. Then after a short while Wikipedia's default edit mechanism (visualEdit) also began to be restrictive. Like within the last week or 10 days so. None of the pull down menus can be pulled down. It seems step by step my editing abilities are being progressively cut down with no explanation whatsoever other than this one time pop up I noticed involving you. In my talk page (all the way down) I indeed put up an "unblock" request but the Wikipedia admins reacted (and thereby confirmed) that (1) I am indeed blocked, and (2) that it involves you. So here I am. So please do whatever you have to do to get to the bottom of it. I'm not an IT expert so all it seems to me from this end is that my account (or editing gadgets that I have turned on in preferences) are constantly associating me with IP ranges that are blocked for editing and therefore triggering edit-restricted interface to show up in my browsers whenever I am on wikipedia.org. So the solution seems to be to disentangle me from any possible "saved" IPs that Wikipedia thinks are mine. The only IPs that are validly mine are the ones that I am connected to at that moment. For example right now 147.161.149.70 on IPV4. [[User:Loginnigol|Loginnigol]] ([[User talk:Loginnigol|talk]]) 13:10, 14 November 2023 (UTC) |

:::{{ping|Loginnigol}} Yes, I need the IPs that you are on when you are blocked on them. The IP you listed is coming back to Zscaler, a colocation provider, which is normally blocked due to hiding the actual IP of users. This I have left alone though because it's usually corporate and normal users can't get access to it. But i'll let you know Zscaler is not a natural IP to be editing from home. -- [[User talk:AmandaNP|<span style="color:white;background-color:#8A2DB8"><b>Amanda</b> (she/her)</span>]] 13:34, 14 November 2023 (UTC) |
|||
::::Well yes sometimes I edit wikipedia from my work computer (which seems to have Zscaler) but I also edit from my personal computer and I just checked and it's IP rightnow is 109.132.247.200. Is that co-location problem too? [[User:Loginnigol|Loginnigol]] ([[User talk:Loginnigol|talk]]) 13:47, 14 November 2023 (UTC) |
|||
:::::No that IP is perfect IP to be editing off of, that one should not and is not blocked by default. -- [[User talk:AmandaNP|<span style="color:white;background-color:#8A2DB8"><b>Amanda</b> (she/her)</span>]] 17:18, 15 November 2023 (UTC) |

::::::But it is blocked. I couldn't edit Wikipedia with that either (neither via the default Wikipedia article editor you access via "Edit" link (visualEdit) nor by the source editing gadget WikEd. And right now I just checked and I still can't edit either (currently via 88.82.32.189). IPs change but the nature of the problem doesn't change ''at all''. That unambiguously means my account is restricted. There is no other interpretation possible. [[User:Loginnigol|Loginnigol]] ([[User talk:Loginnigol|talk]]) 17:50, 15 November 2023 (UTC) |

:::::::None of the IPs you have listed are blocked (and you can check at [[w:Special:BlockList]], and your account is not blocked globally or on enwiki. The only other possible explanation is XFF. I would have to dive in to checkuser to look at that possibility.

|||
::::::::Yes I'm ok with that. |
|||
::::::::Again to reiterate, I am not totally banned from editing by all means available. I could always login and edit Wikipedia via basic bare-bones source editing. Problem is since this month I can no longer use the default editing link "Edit" (visual edit) nor deploy WikEd tool via "Edit source". Maybe Wikipedia is not restricting my account but my devices? [[User:Loginnigol|Loginnigol]] ([[User talk:Loginnigol|talk]]) 10:57, 16 November 2023 (UTC) |

:::::::::We don't have the ability to block individual devices or parts of programs within the wiki. The only thing I can think of is possibly a cookie block. Your recent use of [[w:AWS]] may have activated it, though also the use of an Opera mini proxy also would not help. I'll ping {{ping|AntiCompositeNumber}} who is more aware of the cookie blocks, but I'm a little stumped without seeing a direct block message. -- [[User talk:AmandaNP|<span style="color:white;background-color:#8A2DB8"><b>Amanda</b> (she/her)</span>]] 18:26, 16 November 2023 (UTC) |

::::::::::Please do that. And how does that person interact with me? [[User:Loginnigol|Loginnigol]] ([[User talk:Loginnigol|talk]]) 17:08, 17 November 2023 (UTC) |

:::::::::::I have mentioned them directly. When they have a moment, they will reply here. -- [[User talk:AmandaNP|<span style="color:white;background-color:#8A2DB8"><b>Amanda</b> (she/her)</span>]] 21:42, 17 November 2023 (UTC) |
|||
::::::::::::Solved! I got to the bottom of the issue. It involves a conflict between editing gadgets and the so-called "skin" of Wikipedia. Apparently WikEd conflicts with the default Vector 2022 skin. So I switched to Vector legacy (2010) and the editor interface appeared. A workaround rather than a solution but it will do. I can't complain about a volunteer software. Thanks for your efforts Amanda. [[User:Loginnigol|Loginnigol]] ([[User talk:Loginnigol|talk]]) 18:46, 22 November 2023 (UTC) |

Hello AmandaNP, |
|||
I am quite sure {{U|Política Community}}, {{U|Nature Language}}, {{U|Blujman}}, {{U|La dominanta}}, {{U|Style Here}}, {{U|Oulalawi}}, {{U|Rockepedias}}, {{U|Belmonde Ruth}}, {{U|Qienoo}} and {{U|L964z}} are Craqdi. Is it the case ? Also, I found a mention of Craqdi in Beta-Cluster, I am not sure what it is. Is it related to Wikimedia [https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Relixpelites] ?
