Your talk page

Kuhiya Meditation: You can only read pages, but $7 has been blocked from editing or changing.

If you have just clicked a red link, you were blocked from starting a new page that does not exist yet.

What do I do now?
 Before you continue reading, does the above message say you were autoblocked? If so, see the Autoblocked? section below.
 * Do you use Google Web Accelerator? If so, please read these first:
 * Advice to Google Web Accelerator users
 * If the reason given is "username", "user...", "contact an administrator for verification purposes", or something similar, then you or someone with whom you share an IP address has been blocked for choosing an inappropriate username. To request a change in username and be unblocked, please follow these instructions. Alternatively, create a new account with a more appropriate name.
 * If you have never edited Wikipedia before or do not have an account, please see the Unregistered? section.
 * If you wish to appeal your block, see the following section.

Autoblocked?
You may be unable to edit PTBFC because someone using the same IP address or shared proxy server was blocked. This is known as an "autoblock".

If your block message reads "Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by" followed by a username, or your block log (check via my contributions) does not list any current blocks, then you have been autoblocked. Please add the following line to the bottom of your message wall:

Blocked by: $1 Reason: $2 Expiry of block: $6 

Unregistered?
PTBFC identifies users without an account through their IP address. However, some IPs are shared by multiple people, and as a result unregistered users are sometimes blocked for the misbehavior of another editor. Since administrators have no way to accurately tell the claims of an innocent user from those of an anonymous vandal, we strongly encourage you to create an account. This gives you your own contribution history, which administrators can use to demonstrate that you are a trustworthy user.

Blocks tagged in their reason as "AO" or "AB" have been set to "anonymous-only" meaning only registered users who have logged in can edit from this IP address. If you are currently blocked from creating an account, we suggest the following:
 * Try again after the block on your IP address expires. Go to my contributions and follow the Block log link at the top of the page to find the length of the block.
 * Create an account at home and then log in at your school or workplace, if you are blocked there.
 * Ask a trusted friend on a different network to create an account for you.

See Why create an account? on Wikipedia for a full list of benefits that come with registration.

Emailing us

Please also note that the PTBFC Community mailing list has publicly accessible archives.
