[WikiEN-l] emailing to "query being blocked"

Sat Apr 1 10:57:47 UTC 2006

This evening I saw something that I knew to be inaccurate on a Wikipedia
page (namely on the *Starbucks* page).  I often visit Wikipedia, and enjoy
reading it, but never before had I ever attempted to edit anything.  So I
was really surprised when I clicked on the *edit* button and it send me to a
page informing me that I was blocked.  I would like to find out why my I.P.
address is associated with this event, and I appreciate your efforts in
looking into this.

*General info*:

I do not have an account at this time, so no username.

My I.P. address is *198.151.179.66*
**
Wikipedia says that I was blocked by *Refdoc* for "vandalism," but does not
specify any further (i.e. what it was concerning).

I would be really pleased if this could be sorted out/cleared up,
explained, and I could then create an account with Wikipedia.  I really want
to find out what this "block" is referring to.  Again, thank you for your
time.
