You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 52.91.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:26, 2 September 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

== ZX Spectrum references ==
Hi Thumperwad, I am contacting you because I can see that you have a large number of edits on the ZX Spectrum article, and so I am hoping you can either provide insight here or at least point me to someone who might. My question concerns which of the various source materials covering the ZX Spectrum are the most respected and otherwise notable. I've been engaged in a recent series of conversations where the argument has been advanced that there is over-coverage of the Spectrum version of some games. I'm opposed to the wholescale blanking of Spectrum version scores, but as per [[WP:DUE]], the over-coverage argument is not without merit. The articles concerned here use the following Spectrum sources:
*ACE
*Computer and Video Games
*Computer Gamer
*CRASH
*Sinclair User
*The Games Machine
*Your Computer
*Your Sinclair
Can you tell me which of these are the most industry-respected and notable publications? And if not, do you know who would have an opinion on this? If you have no idea then I'll post at WP:VG/S. Thank you. -[[User:Thibbs|Thibbs]] ([[User talk:Thibbs|talk]]) 14:41, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

: Speaking only from my own experience buying the things over twenty years ago, ''C&VG'' is the most reliable of the lot (it was the best-selling gamer mag in the UK for years), while ''ACE'', ''CRASH'', ''Sinclair User'' and ''Your Sinclair'' were probably the best-known specialist mags. I'd drop a note at WP:VG/S anyway. For what it's worth, until the 90s the Spectrum port was often the highest-selling in a given market owing to its ubiquity (at least in the UK), and [[user:Asmpgmr]]'s characterisation of it as an "obscure system" indicates the limitations to his understanding of the video games market of the 1980s. He should certainly be warned not to continue summarily removing sourced information on arcade game ports from their articles unless a consensus is reached to do so. [[WP:DUE]] does not mandate that we either include reviews for every platform or for none of them: it simply means that we should not go over-the-top in emphasising a given platform's importance. A couple of review links and a short summary is perfectly acceptable coverage. [[User:Thumperward|Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward)]] ([[User talk:Thumperward#top|talk]]) 14:53, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

::OK, that helps quite a bit. Thanks. I've posted basically the same question to WP:VG/S now [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games/Sources#ZX Spectrum sources|here]].
::As far as Asmpgmr is concerned, he's apparently taken our guideline-based disagreement really to heart and he's ordered me not to communicate with him. I find it extremely childish, but I'm not interested in antagonizing him or driving him away because I think he has the potential to be a real asset here if only he can learn to collaborate with his peers. And as he appears to be rejecting everything I say without even considering it (he blanks every message I leave on his talk and he seems to be ignoring the ongoing community discussion), I don't think my words would have any effect on him at all anyway.
::Depending on how the discussion at WT:VG goes, I do think I may try to restore some of the material Asmpgmr blanked, but I hope that restoring only part of the coverage should show him that I am not trying to undermine the articles. Hopefully he'll have cooled down a little by then. If not then I guess he should be given a warning. I intend to shift the other less-notable RS-based Spectrum coverage to the articles' talk pages so that they can be added later if need be. Anyway thanks again for your help. -[[User:Thibbs|Thibbs]] ([[User talk:Thibbs|talk]]) 17:21, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

::: He's a new editor, and from what I've seen of his posts he's got the fairly common new-user attitude that he should be able to pull rank based on professed personal experience.

: I'm not sure that every individual dispute regarding an FA's content demands that it be taken to FAR. The user in question could, and should, simply have proposed changes to the article which would address his perception that it was unduly favourable. FWIW I believe he has some degree of a point regarding the lack of less favourable review material in the article, but it's nowhere near serious enough to warrant delisting.

: Yeah, I'm watching it. Your argument is bogus (a comparison to a random ''other'' cruft-magnet), and I'm sure I've asked you not to impose your "everything has bullets" idiosyncrasy on my comments before. You're at liberty to do it on your own talk, but please don't reformat others' comments elsewhere like that.

==Disambiguation link notification for October 24==

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited [[Serial ATA]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[PATA]] ([[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Serial_ATA|check to confirm]]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Serial_ATA|fix with Dab solver]]). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]((*)) Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].</small>

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these [[User:DPL bot|opt-out instructions]]. Thanks, [[User:DPL bot|DPL bot]] ([[User talk:DPL bot|talk]]) 15:30, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

== Oops ==

Most humble apologies for this[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&diff=prev&oldid=519733276] - thanks for catching my mistake! Where ''should'' I play from now on? I've recently sworn off the drama (so many talk pages now un-stalked, including...), but AN/I is my most toughest one to give up! I'll try to do better and avoid inputting there, and thanks for putting me back in my place. Cheers, Thumperward :> [[User:Doc9871|<span style="color:#000000; font-size:small;">'''Doc'''</span>]] [[User_talk:Doc9871|<span style="color:#999999;">'''talk'''</span>]] 10:38, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

== Template:Navbox ==

Hello.

I saw there were a few changes to [[Template:Navbox]] today. Are they in anyway related to the double parentheses that now occur in [[Template:Kingdom of Great Britain]], do you think?

Regards

[[User:HandsomeFella|HandsomeFella]] ([[User talk:HandsomeFella|talk]]) 16:44, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

: They are. Gadget850 has [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Kingdom_of_Great_Britain&diff=519793455&oldid=483648384 fixed the template]. [[User:Thumperward|Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward)]] ([[User talk:Thumperward#top|talk]]) 19:41, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

== Infobox sportsperson biography ==

FYI, a fork of [[template:Infobox sportsperson]] ... 22:34, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

== Template:AFI ==

Hello. I am an IP who helps with unstandardized templates. My edit to ((tl|AFI)) was reverted by the creator (and the creator of [[WP:Articles for Improvement|the proposal it links to]]). Could you revert him please? [[Special:Contributions/96.50.22.205|96.50.22.205]] ([[User talk:96.50.22.205|talk]]) 16:00, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

: Not a great move by Hahc21, but your first port of call when disagreeing with it should be to take it to his talk page, rather than asking a random admin to revert it by proxy.

== Snowball keep ==

Hello, Thumper. Just letting you know that I snowball kept ((tl|Strawman)). Add it to pages that need it, please. [[User:AnnaHendren|Anna]]&#124;[[User talk:AnnaHendren|talk]] 20:19, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

: What on ''Earth'' are you doing? Reopen it again, please. That's an astonishingly wrong close, and if that's indicative of your general attitude to NACs then you shouldn't be doing them at all. [[User:Thumperward|Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward)]] ([[User talk:Thumperward#top|talk]]) 22:38, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
Anna, that looks a bad decision to me too. I think you're thoroughly misunderstanding WP:SNOW. --[[User:Dweller|Dweller]] ([[User talk:Dweller|talk]]) 23:14, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
:Yes reopen. The value in keeping this was not discussed. The snow is falling pretty fast here. How does an editor with less than 400 edits have the authority to do this? [[User:Sw2nd|Sw2nd]] ([[User talk:Sw2nd|talk]]) 04:29, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
Having slept on it, I've reverted the non-admin closure. --[[User:Dweller|Dweller]] ([[User talk:Dweller|talk]]) 10:32, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

: Gracias. I'm still deeply curious as to the thought process which led AnnaHendren to conclude that ambox templates are inherently non-deleteable. [[User:Thumperward|Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward)]] ([[User talk:Thumperward#top|talk]]) 10:37, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

== Villiage Pump Technical ==

The item I opened at Villiage Pump Technical was in order to get the problem with my computer settings straightened out. It was not in support or in contest with whether there should be or not be chess icon glyphs in chess piece articles on Wikipedia. It was a technical issue with my computer settings that I was trying to solve. You came there after the technical problem was solved with comments of an evaluative nature that had nothing to do with the thread. I have no interest in your opinions or grievances. So why don't you take them up with someone who cares? And leave me alone with your rants and insults, I want nothing to do with you. (Ok, Chris?)  [[User:Ihardlythinkso|Ihardlythinkso]] ([[User talk:Ihardlythinkso|talk]]) 02:29, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

: See how I removed it ten minutes after posting it, and two hours before you posted here? That was a diplomatic effort to head off being flamed. Sheesh. If and when I take another crack at fixing the accessibility issues with our chess articles, which has given me nothing but grief by the way, I'll be sure not to involve you. [[User:Thumperward|Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward)]] ([[User talk:Thumperward#top|talk]]) 08:37, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

::You leave a reply that expresses your feedback. Then you delete it, so, it doesn't count. Yeah right! (So, if I call you a bunch of names here, then decide 10 minutes later to remove them, it equally "doesn't count"? Makes a lot of sense to me!)

::I really appreciate, Chris, to NEVER HEAR FROM YOU AGAIN. Thank you so much. [[User:Ihardlythinkso|Ihardlythinkso]] ([[User talk:Ihardlythinkso|talk]]) 08:58, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

::p.s. Regarding your "grief", if could care less. (Or, "I couldn't care less", for Britishers.) [[User:Ihardlythinkso|Ihardlythinkso]] ([[User talk:Ihardlythinkso|talk]]) 09:01, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

::: I can't un-say things, but I can certainly retract them, and that's what's happened here. The reason I did so was because I didn't want a general comment on VPT to turn into a personal conflict. But so much for that. Seeing as I didn't actually contact you (VPT is an open forum, and my comment wasn't even addressed at you in the first place), I'm not sure what you're asking for me not to do so again for, but I won't let it interfere with my passing general commentary on open forums like VPT in any case (though feel free to ignore me, as I likely will you).
