It's not you Hall Monitor banned, but someone using the same IP address as you do and vandalising articles (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/24.66.94.140) 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.
