Shared dynamic IP addressWelcome!

Interested in becoming a regular contributor to Misplaced Pages? Create an account!

Your IP address, 68.50.128.91, is part of a pool of dynamically allocated addresses and is registered to a Comcast cable subscriber in Washington, D.C.. It may be shared by multiple users, so you might receive messages on this page that were not intended for you.

To have your own user pages, keep track of articles you've edited in a watchlist, and have access to a few other special features, please consider registering an account! It's fast and free. (Note: Sometimes, due to vandalism, you may be temporarily unable to register).

Applying an indefinite block to this IP is not appropriate, unless it is a soft block, because the IP address will later be reallocated to a different, unrelated, and unsuspecting user, thereby impairing access to Misplaced Pages in an inappropriate fashion. Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking.

The best approach is to determine the CIDR IP numerical address range and make a higher-level decision to soft-block the entire range. http://www.arin.net/ (for approximately North America) and related sites can help to identify that range. Caution is advised when applying a range block as other Wikipedians, both registered and otherwise, may be affected.

In the event of vandalism from this IP address, abuse reports can be sent to its network administrator for investigation.
Review contributions carefully if blocking this IP address or reverting its contributions. If a block is needed, administrators should consider a soft block using Template:Anonblock.
Network administrators, to monitor this IP address for vandalism, can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Request reason:

I am requesting that this IP address to be unblocked so that its block log, where my username is mentioned as "clearly a sock" (https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=&page=68.50.128.91&year=&month=-1&tagfilter=&hide_patrol_log=1&hide_review_log=1&hide_thanks_log=1), is updated to reflect this: https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee/Ban_Appeals_Subcommittee#Holdek_unblocked. I'm not sure if this is the best venue to make this request but I couldn't find any instructions for an alternative. Holdek (talk) 20:36, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Accept reason:

Makes sense to me. (Probably not technically the right place for the request, but it was probably the easiest, and surely this is one of the rare occasions when WP:AIR is obviously the most relevant policy.) The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 08:52, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
