Welcome
Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, such as the one you made on Template:Texas A&M University. I greatly appreciate your efforts to fight vandalism on Wikipedia. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might like to see:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
- Recent changes patrol
- Anti-vandalism tools
You are welcome to continue editing articles without logging in, but I highly recommend that you create an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits. If you edit without a username, your IP address (208.180.238.130) is used to identify you instead.
In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on this page. Again, welcome!

Request reason:
This IP address appears to have been caught up inadvertently in an overly broad schoolblock that covers a /16 subnet. This address is in use at a local business that's miles away from the nearest school, so blocking it would suggest that the net has been cast far too wide. Additionally, checking this address' contribs should show that it has an established (though modest) history of good faith edits that stretch back for years. Moreover, if you're managing to block businesses that are miles away from the likely target of the schoolblock, there's a decent chance you've blocked all or most of the 200,000+ people in this Texas region from creating accounts or editing anonymously, given that you've blocked a /16 from the only major ISP around. Might I suggest the range of the block be narrowed to something more reasonable? Thanks!
Decline reason:
A rangeblock, necessarily and by definition, covers a significantly wide area. given that you personally are not the target, I understand your annoyance, which I concede you phrased politely. Unfortunately it is not possible to shrink the range in a block of this type. If you possessed an account you would be able to edit; may I suggest that you create one? --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 11:34, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
