Some road spikes

👋 Hi and I am \\RoadSpikes (1/1). Don't vandalise this page -- I'll put some road spikes on the road when you drive!

My real name is Pilkey Roadsterway. You can leave me a message here.

Help me!

[edit]

Please help me with the block. I (IP) have been blocked, but I have done nothing wrong. I am innocent. Where is the page that I can request unblock to my IP or unblock me (only me) when I use this IP?

The message that appears when you attempt to edit should provide instructions on how to request unblock. If not, you may read WP:AAB for instructions. 331dot (talk) 16:10, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It cannot help me. Since you are an administrator, can you unblock me from editing from ***.**.***.*/**? RoadSpikes (talk) 08:45, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@331dot: Um I think you can reply me this question. 🔫 | Handcuffs | Taser | \\Road Spikes 10:58, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your account is not blocked so I cannot unblock it. As I said, the message that comes up when you attempt to edit should provide instructions on how to request unblock. If you do not understand it, please copy and paste here the exact word-for-word message that appears when you attempt to edit. 331dot (talk) 11:03, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@331dot: My IP address is blocked. When I attempt to edit it just show me that I should contact an administrator. 🔫 | Handcuffs | Taser | \\Road Spikes @ 11:07, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I can't help you unless you tell me what the exact message is, word for word, including the IP address. If you do not wish to post your IP address publicly, you may use WP:UTRS to tell it privately. Please indicate which you will do. 331dot (talk) 11:09, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, it's early I see your IP now. One moment. 331dot (talk) 11:10, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your help. 🔫 | Handcuffs | Taser | \\Road Spikes @ 11:11, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, that IP range is under a checkuser block, which usually means that there is technical evidence of abuse or vandalism from the block IP or IP range. Only a checkuser can authorize its removal. I don't need to know specifically where you are, but are you using public internet access or WiFi? 331dot (talk) 11:12, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I am using a WiFi. 🔫 | Handcuffs | Taser | \\Road Spikes @ 11:13, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It is not a public internet access, but it is a home WiFi. My whole family edits WIkipedia. 🔫 | Handcuffs | Taser | \\Road Spikes @ 11:14, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Have any of your family members been blocked from editing Wikipedia? 331dot (talk) 11:16, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@331dot: User:Bank Robbery got blocked. 🔫 | Handcuffs | Taser | \\Road Spikes @ 11:18, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to notify you again. A checkuser just need to unblock specifically me (I guess). 🔫 | Handcuffs | Taser | \\Road Spikes @ 11:16, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That user was blocked for being a sockpuppet of another account; that's probably the reason for the checkuser block. Frankly, it's going to be difficult for a checkuser to unblock your IP . We don't know who is sitting at the computer/using the WiFi, only that inappropriate edits came from it. My suggestion would be that you encourage the blocked family member to request unblock and come clean about any and all other accounts they have used. You can follow the instructions at WP:AAB to request unblock, but I'm almost certain that is what you will be told by a checkuser or another administrator(we can turn down requests to remove a checkuser block, we just can't approve them without consulting a checkuser). 331dot (talk) 11:23, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Actually the block expires on March 25, but I would like to keep contributing to Wikipedia. (The only way now is to use 4G, but it costs money!) 🔫 | Handcuffs | Taser | \\Road Spikes @ 11:56, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I would still suggest that you encourage the blocked family member to request unblock. Even if you just wait for the block to expire, you risk being blocked directly as a sockpuppet or (more likely) a meatpuppet. As I said, we don't know who is sitting at the computer/using the WiFi. Unfortunately your options are limited here. 331dot (talk) 12:20, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I just told my little brother, Bank Robbery to email Bbb23 (the blocker) on instructions how to merge and delete his sockpuppets. He told me that he really created a lot of sockpuppets. 🔫 | Handcuffs | Taser | \\Road Spikes @ 13:53, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Your brother can follow the instructions at WP:AAB. They need to request unblock from their original account and declare any and all sockpuppets they used. It is not possible to merge accounts. 331dot (talk) 14:35, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
My brother has made an unblock request on his original account, Keycard1Slot. He tagged his request on his talk page (here). 🔫 | Handcuffs | Taser | \\Road Spikes at 04:32, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
