Banned proxys.svg This IP address has been blocked because it is believed to be an open proxy or zombie computer. To prevent abuse, these proxies may be blocked from editing FAMEData. If your ISP has misconfigured its proxy, you can try bypassing it by logging into Miraheze's secure gateway at https://famedata.org/Special:UserLogin.

CheckUser evidence has determined that this IP address, range of IP addresses, or account has been used abusively.
This address (or network) has been blocked to prevent further abuse.

In extreme cases, an entire network may be blocked to prevent an abusive user from continually changing their IP address in order to evade blocks or abusing multiple accounts.

Administrators: CheckUsers are privy to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or administrators due to the Miraheze's privacy policy, and therefore must be consulted before this block can be removed.

Users: You may request {{unblock}} through the normal channels, however a CheckUser will review the block.

CheckUser evidence has determined that this IP address or network has been used (not necessarily by you) to disrupt FAMEData. It has been blocked from editing to prevent further abuse. If you get this message, please read the following information.

famedata tries to be open, but we sometimes must block a range of IP addresses or an entire network, to prevent editing by abusers, vandals, or block evaders. These "range blocks" can affect users who have done nothing wrong. If you are a legitimate user, follow the instructions below to edit despite the block. Users who are the intended target of a range block may still appeal the block.

IP users (without an account): In general, these blocks only prevent users who are not logged in from editing; once you are logged in, the block will no longer affect you in any way. It is important that you use an e-mail address issued to you by your ISP, school, or organisation, so we may verify that you are a legitimate user. If using the form, please refer to this block under "comments". If e-mailing, please refer to this block in your message.

Registered users (with an account): You may request IP block exemption to bypass blocks unconnected with you that affect your editing. Post an unblock request to your user talk page.

Administrators: CheckUsers are privy to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or administrators due to the Miraheze's privacy policy. You must not amend or remove this block without consulting a CheckUser.
