Please IP BAN / BLOCK ME[edit]

Please IP BAN / BLOCK ME, so I stop getting expensive sources off of amazon in the intent to improve wikipedia. PhD level books are fucking expensive. Thigle (talk) 01:23, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:SELFBLOCK we generally don't honor those kinds of requests. A permanent block of your IP is unlikely in any case; for one thing, most IPs are dynamic and subject to change, so even if we blocked your IP, if it changed in a week you'd be able to edit again. In addition, the next person to use your IP would be unfairly blocked. So we're careful about how and why IPs are blocked. If you are having problems controlling your access to Wikipedia, there's actually a tool that can help you, called WikiBreak Enforcer, that you can use to basically block yourself. -- Atama頭 01:28, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

October 2011[edit]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
