G'day Nick,

"Autoblocked because your IP address has been
recently used by
"Createaccount". The reason given for Createaccount's block is:
"Username block"." when requesting an unblock as an administrator can
not help you without that information, they might also need your IP
address (82.36.106.161), so give that too if possible."
Because my IP is blocked I cant create a new user name or request a
user name change for createaccount - so for one dumb decision I'm
permanently excluded from contributing.
I have undone the autoblock. Please let me know if you have any further
trouble creating an account.
It may also help you to know that I had some edits
reverted because
one of the administrators was concerned that I including to many
links to my own site - which is
www.podnosh.com. In every case I was
confident that I was adding links to relevant information. If you
check you should be able to see that my IP has been used for
constructive contributions and I would like a chance to keep doing that.
The block had nothing to do with the links you were adding, so that's no
problem. If you'll mind a word ... external links on Wikipedia are
added to make our articles more useful to readers. That's the essential
test. We don't care the a website deserves to be on the list, or is
sufficiently relevant, or is popular, or whatever: we care if the
article it's placed on is improved as a result.
It may be that your website does this (having not looked closely at it,
I'm certainly not about to argue otherwise). If so, well, that's great.
Just please remember this metric: does it improve the *article* it's in?
Happy editing!
