Hello there, I'm anonymous on Wikipedia. But for reason, Extraordinary Writ decided to block an IP range just for block evasion, when in fact I never really did. Also, the edits I made on this IP are constructive and in good-faith. For additional details, this IP range had a long edit history of making edits that improve the encyclopedia and considered useful to editing community. Another curiosity is that, when I attempted to ask a question and inquiry on an RFA talk page, see ([1]), Pppery, decided to revert and remove my question without any further explanation. But the IP range got blocked on Wikipedia, at the same time, got definitely reported to SPI at the same time with case closed. For this, this report is never about block evasion, it was about being detected all the time. The another thing I wanted to wonder is I left a message about a user being a Teahouse host on Tarlby's talk page. See here ([2][3]) Asilvering said that if I wanted to create an account here, and I said "no, I do not." For and to me, I definitely wanted to remain remain as an IP editor and unregistered at the same time, due to the fact that I do not want anyone within the community to recognize me as with the associated username. Moreover, this IP is meant to edit pages on topic areas and to ask questions without feeling any guilt. If you take a look at this different IP, ([4]) you can see that there is nothing wrong with these kind of edits, they are all in good-faith and not vandalism. The another reason of IP editing on this kind of site is so the fact that, edits would be difficult to connect to an IP, when the IP or any range changes dynamically. However, this SPI report have lead me to be unfairly blocked on Wikipedia without any positive appeal. More information, none of these users listed in an SPI report are related to me, so I do not edit on other users or IPs recorded in the edit history. But why do I still have to get reported on SPI without leaving me a warning? Also, how easy is the sockpuppet account to detect, even though their main purpose is to go hidden and undetected? And, none of these accounts are created using this particular IP range. If you reading this, I am on a California State University Network IP and this IP range geolocates to Northern California. But, if you disagree and still going to leave an unblock, please explain why? Again, this IP range got blocked two times already. See here: ([5][6]) Just an again, thank you for reading this and reviewing my information about the IP range block. But still as Asilvering said, creating an account is a "much better Wikipedia experience overall," but I still kind of disagree with that, given the fact that IPs are always anonymous and unknown, and I want to edit without being in scrutiny, ensuring that fact that I can improve my experience on editing Wikipedia and its projects. For one last thing, block an whole IP range, makes it difficult to edit for any other people, besides contributions, given the fact that this IP range is shared by multiple users and students a like on Wikipedia, why on not letting these others create an account for any contribution, if they feel like it. 205.155.225.249 (talk) 18:24, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

More information, none of these users listed in an SPI report are related to me [...] none of these accounts are created using this particular IP range. If the first of these is true, you wouldn't know the second.

Other editors can edit from this IP. They just need an account. Regarding scrutiny, I hope this experience has shown you that your edits can be scrutinized whether you have an account or not. -- asilvering (talk) 20:10, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
