First article
editHey! Congrats on your first article, looks good. If you want to expand on it, you might want to have a look at some of the films listed here: Wikipedia:Good articles#Films. These have passed as good articles (in other words, an editor has read through it and passed it based on the good article criteria. It's not what the editor thinks is personally "good" or not.). This might be a step forward. Anyway, congrats, and best wishes! PeterSymonds | talk 15:33, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
Unblock
editWraith808 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
Editing from 216.52.207.64/26 has been blocked (disabled) by Callanecc - this is not an open proxy. It is a place of business, with the IP shared among people that have access to our internal network wraith808 (talk) 22:36, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
Accept reason:
The information I can gather about the network is not inconsistent with it being a closed proxy so I've softened the block in good faith. The original block was for other reasons as well which I won't go into here, however since it is a workplace I'll unblock completely and see how it goes. Apologies for the inconvenience.

- If there were misdeeds on any of our pages, let me know, and I can take a look at it as we don't wish the negative association. And thanks for the leap of faith.

- You need to use
{{unblock-auto}}
instead - it has fields for information that admins will need to deal with an autoblock/rangeblock. —Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 23:28, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
Question for administrator
edit{{admin help}} I followed the information from Jeremy above, and when I went to that page, it said that I should use "code generated for you under the "IP blocked?"" section under what do I do now. Neither that section nor What do I do now are present on the sandbox page when I try to edit- just the block message.

- Yep, that's not surprising; this is a rangeblock, not an autoblock, and the {{unblock-auto}} template that Jeremy suggested is actually only helpful for autoblocks. I'll ask the admin who blocked the range about this and see what they think. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 00:27, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
