Block ID

Re:this discussion, please tell us your block ID, so we can investigate why you are unable to edit at Commons. Although I have given you temporary IP block exemption, please use this opportunity to make your unblock request, because if I see no action by Monday morning, I will assume that you no longer require an unblock. Cheers. Green Giant (talk) 10:22, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

Green Giant, I'm having trouble using the unblock template, plus I've lost electricity several times today and yesterday. This was the info I think you were asking for:

Blocked by: INeverCry

Reason: Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "EChastain".

The reason given for EChastain's block is "Abusing multiple accounts: User:Mattisse"

Your IP adress: 71.180.239.32

Block ID: 250124

Block expiry: 23:56, 24 July 2015

Your user name: 71.180.239.32

Is this helpful? Thanks, EChastain (talk) 15:33, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

You should be able to edit the talkpage without IPB flag. Do to blockid there is no ip hardblock. CheckUser on enwiki confirmed socking, can you elaborate a bit please what happen? --Steinsplitter (talk) 08:58, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

EChastain I wanted to let you know I tried to talk some sense into the folk sat commons but it looks like you are going to stay blocked. Its a bad decision IMO based on zero reliable evidence and accusations but that's ENWP. I can't tell you anything there that everyone doesn't already know. I think its a net negative for the project both in terms of lost edits and showing that the commons project is just as bad as ENWP in terms of blocking editors based on the decision of one admin with no proof. Anyway, I am taking a break from commons for a while myself. I started editing there thinking it had a better environment than ENWP but this shows me its just as bad and maybe worse. Anyway good luck. :-) Reguyla (talk) 21:24, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

What future IdeaLab campaigns would you like to see?

Hi there,

These campaigns aim to bring in proposals and solutions from communities that address a need or problem in Wikimedia projects. I'm interested in hearing your preferences and ideas for campaign topics!

Here’s how to participate:

• Learn more about this consultation
• Vote on and submit new campaign topics in the AllOurIdeas Survey
• Discuss campaign topics and ask questions on the IdeaLab talk page

Take care,

Thank you to everyone who volunteered time to participate and submit ideas.

With great thanks,
