User talk:Capneb

Welcome!

Hello, Capneb, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like working here and want to continue. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at the Guide to layout, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and if you can't find your answer there, check the Village pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and the Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal — and if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my New-Users' Talk Page.

Additional tips:

Here are some extra tips to help you get around Wikipedia:

If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills, try the Sandbox.
Click on the Edit button on a page, and look at how other editors did what they did.
You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Always sign comments on Talk pages, never sign Articles.
You might want to add yourself to the New User Log
If your first language isn't English, try Wikipedia:Contributing to articles outside your native language
Full details on Wikipedia style can be found in the Manual of Style.

Happy editing!

This is a bit late, I'm afraid, so you'll probably know all the above — but better a late welcome than no wwelcome at all. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 21:20, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Problem with your custom signature[edit]

You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:

Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
Remove anything in the Signature: text box. (It might already be empty.)
Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)

Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:

Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page.

More information about custom signatures is available at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. 19:04, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Request reason:

I’m not sure if this was caused by Apple’s new Hide My IP feature of my ISP changing to IPv6, but even when logged in I cannot edit anymore. My IP now appears to be 2a02:26f7:c351:8016:0:bc34:6b24:4990. Recently it was an IPv4 address. Capneb (talk) 18:54, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Yes, that's iCloud Private Relay. If you try to obscure your IP address, you will have trouble editing. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 21:19, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Request reason:

Caught by a colocation web host block. I was connected to a VPN at the time. I have since disconnected, but I am still blocked.

Decline reason:

You are still using a proxy. You must disable this and wait a full 24 hours for the block to clear. Yamla (talk) 16:22, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
