Correcting typoes and misspellings

Wikipedia:typo is a project for correcting typoes and misspellings on Wikipedia. It's fun to search for them. Just one thing though: "traveling" isn't necessarily a misspelling - see American and British English spelling differences #Doubled consonants. Have a look at Wikipedia:Manual of Style # National varieties of English for more information about our use of English dialects but most of the time if you stick with what is in the article you'll be OK. Happy editing, Graham87 12:08, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

For some reason I have been 'autoblocked'. Why's that? It told me to put this on the bottom of my talk page.

This user is asking that their autoblock or shared IP address block be lifted:

BigMacintosh (block log • contribs • deleted contribs • abuse filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • user rights management • checkuser (log))

IP address: 203.166.234.28 (block log • active blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • abuse filter log • WHOIS • RDNS • RBLs • unblock • checkuser (log))
Blocking admin: Hesperian (talk • blocks)
Block message:

Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "Seventy dot". The reason given for Seventy dot's block is: "sockpuppet of Auroranorth, used to evade block".

WARNING: If you were blocked directly then you are using the wrong template and your block will not be reviewed since you have not provided a reason for unblocking. Please use {{unblock | reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} instead.

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, or when you need checkuser assistance, please place {{subst:Unblock on hold-notification | 1=BigMacintosh}} on the administrator's talk page. Then replace this template with the following:

{{unblock-auto on hold | 1=Hesperian | 2=<nowiki>Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "Seventy dot". The reason given for Seventy dot's block is: "sockpuppet of Auroranorth, used to evade block".</nowiki> | 3=203.166.234.28 | 4= | 5=~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting decline reason here with any specific rationale. If the decline= parameter is omitted, a reason for unblocking will be requested.

{{unblock-auto reviewed | 1=203.166.234.28 | 2=<nowiki>Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "Seventy dot". The reason given for Seventy dot's block is: "sockpuppet of Auroranorth, used to evade block".</nowiki> | 3=Hesperian | decline=decline reason here ~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting accept reason here with your rationale:

{{unblock-auto reviewed | 1=203.166.234.28 | 2=<nowiki>Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "Seventy dot". The reason given for Seventy dot's block is: "sockpuppet of Auroranorth, used to evade block".</nowiki> | 3=Hesperian | accept=accept reason here ~~~~}}
