I do not know if he still has the pb, but he has not contributed since the 25. I think he got desperate :-(

Could someone check if he is indeed blocked on fr and en ?

193.x.x.x is not blocked on either en or fr. Chances are that the person has quit wikipedia after being blocked and not being successfull in reaching anyone.

Thanks for myself, I'm quite persevering :)

I'm not much connected at home any more, so I only got Anthere latest answers on my wikipedia talk page this evening.

I've also just seen Brion's answer about the problem I encounter.

At work I access the web through a proxy and firewalls; I don't know about bots that would spider the wikipedia from my company (actually this would sound strange to me). I'm not sure that many people from my company use the wikipedia and there should be no much ways to track them as we all have the same IP address outside our network.

The browser I use is Netscape 7.01/Win2kPro ; I've not tried to launch IE5.5/Win2kPro to see if it works better. I'll try this back to work on Monday I think. Then I'll drop a word here to let you know what happened.

It may be useful to have a short note on the server's error pages to explain people why their request cannot be fulfilled, and some robot-proof email address to be contacted... :))

Thanks to all for your kind help, best regards from France,
