Request reason:

I just discovered that my IP address (which I won't post here, but can send to an administrator by email) has been blocked. The reason given is "long term pattern of vandalism." That doesn't make sense, unless of course my IP is shared by someone else who has been abusive. I do often make little edits without signing in (just using my IP address), but they are things like spelling mistakes, a sentence that doesn't make grammatical sense, etc., or just a comment in an article's talk page. I have never, ever vandalized, and I don't appreciate the suggestion that I have. A bit more investigating would be appreciated.

Decline reason:

I am declining this request on a purely procedural basis, since as you have noted the account itself is not blocked. Have you tried, or are you able, to use a computer or access point other than the one that's been blocked? In any event, it sounds like you really need to request IP block exemption. If you like, email me from my user page or indicate here that you would like to initiate a request, and I'll put it through. A checkuser will review it to make sure that your account is not the one suspected of socking. — Daniel Case (talk) 17:26, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

The IP Block Exemption sounds like it won't really solve the problem. If I understand correctly, my IP will still be blocked if I am not signed in. Can't we do something about that? Thanks.

Yes it will still be blocked—that's the idea. Why would that still be a problem for you? Daniel Case (talk) 21:55, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

As I said above, I sometimes make minor edits in an article without going through the trouble of signing in. By not addressing the wrongful block on my IP address, we're taking that ability away from me. Hey, if you don't want to deal with it, that's fine.NipsonAnomimata (talk) 21:13, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
