[edit] an easy solution

there's an easy solution to your predicament. open an account. it's that simple. while i'm reluctant to express motive here, the reality looks really bad. clicking 'user contributions' shows almost all edits ever performed by this IP address to be on the dancing with the stars article. if this really is a shared IP address, then the likelyhood that the IP was briefly assigned to some other roadrunner account, and that account then vandalized - of all the millions of articles on wikipedia - the dancing with the stars article, well, let's just say the odds of that happening are probably a billion to one. and then that you'd be re-assigned the same IP address again within a very short interval is also highly unlikely. on the other hand, if you habitually leave your PC unattended, and others have access to it, then it would be relatively easy for someone to 'get you in trouble' by looking at your history then purposely doing some vandalism from your PC. the solution to that? open an account. then you can log out of WP when you're away from the computer, and others can't do bad things with your account.

but, the long and short of it is that the odds of the former being the case are vanishingly small; the odds of the latter happening are better - but then the onus, the blame, rests on your shoulders for leaving your computer vulnerable to asshats who would try to get you in trouble here. so, take the next step in being responsible: open an account. then there will be no excuse. and, you'll be able to edit again. (hopefully i'm not talking through my hat - i believe that opening account will get you past the block, but perhaps not. there's only one way for you to find out, however).

Note from blocking admin: this is a "hard block", disallowing registered editors to edit. Note that they can request unblock using their account. -- lucasbfr talk 23:47, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
i cannot create and account (believe me, i tried) while blocked. i'm apparently blocked for 6 months.


well, i wonder if under these circumstances, if it would be appropriate to give a brief reprieve on the block. i don't know policy on such matters however. while i've had disagreements with, uh, 24.90.233.61 on the value of some edits performed, for the most part the edits i've seen from this person have been good faith, and for the most part constructive. i think the person should be given an opportunity to create an account and then see where the chips fall, so to speak. but i'm not an admin, though i play one routinely in half-life 2. something like that.
