Hi James, Thanks for responding. I apologize if this mailing list is the wrong place for this, but I'm having trouble with the English Wikipedia Unblock Ticket Request System. I submitted an unblock request, which was accpeted, but now I'm having trouble with the email confirmation. When I copy into my browser the link I received from the automated email response, I face the following message:
The action you requested could not be performed: Please use the link provided to you in your email to access this page. This security step assures us that we are still talking to the same person. Thank you.
I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions on how to proceed from here. It would make me quite sad if my unblock request was not looked at becuase I could not get past the email confirmation link.
Thanks Matt, it looks like someone got it before I could. I imagine you know already but, just in case, if you find yourself wanting to edit frequently from tor you may want to consider asking for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IP_block_exemption on your account. Not the simplest for sure but may life easier so you don't have to worry about it.

Hi! I wanted to point out a single instance of vandalism on the following page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Gris
The infobox contains the following line:
| awards = he married 4 potatoes
The last recorded instance of this page that doesn't contain this vandalism had the following line instead:
| awards =
I would have fixed this myself, but I use Tor, so I am unable to do so. Thanks.

At the moment utrs is transferring from the toolserver to labs. That shouldn't make a difference, but maybe it did. Could you try requesting a new confirmation link by opening a new ticket on utrs? If it fails again, feel free to come back to this list.
