"Re: Your user name or IP address has been _blocked_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Blocking_policy) by _CryptoDerk_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:CryptoDerk) . The reason given is this: vandal You can _email CryptoDerk_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Emailuser/CryptoDerk) or one of the other _administrators_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_administrators) to discuss the block. You may also edit _your user talk page_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Mytalk) if you wish. If you believe that our _blocking policy_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Blocking_policy) was violated, you may discuss the block publicly on the _WikiEN-l mailing list_ (http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l) . Note that you may not use the "email this user" feature unless you have a Wikipedia account and a valid email address registered in your _user preferences_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences) .
Your IP address is 207.200.116.195. Please include this address, along with your username, in any queries you make." ----- This type of block happens repeatedly, not because of anything I do but because AOL assigns me an IP number that is frequently used by vandal(s). Please see my User Page - WBardwin/AOL Block Collection. The admin responses I get on these occasions are generally positive and helpful, and many times they have been able to release the block so I can get some work done. Today, however, I am not able to access any administrators pages and have resorted to e-mail. I would like to see this problem resolved as these undeserved blocks are very annoying and time consuming. However, my discussions with AOL do not lead me to believe that they would be willing to block or even chastise the guilty vandals. Would the community of administrators please discuss and address this ongoing problem? I'm sure I'm not the only "good" user being impacted by this policy. Thank you. WBardwin.
