Unfortunately, you get blocked because your ISP issues you the same IP
every
once in awhile. This IP has been blocked for the
12th time because it
keeps
vandalising articles. The only way you can avoid
being banned too is get
another IP address or contact your ISP abuse address internet.abuse
at sjrb.ca (or
forward any conversation you had with them to Hall
Monitor).
Do the whois - this is a shaw.ca proxy. Shaw Cable route all their
customers' web access through transparent proxies - hence GeekyBroad
seeing a different IP for her PC than for the editing: Wikipedia sees
only the proxy address.
As a wide-ranging ISP proxy, this IP should *never* be blocked for
more than very short times.
