I am in China, Turkey, Venezuela, or any other censored place and I want to edit, but I am globally blocked. Please unblock the IP!

No Open Proxy (which is our policy) prohibits edits originating from an open proxy or VPN, therefore unless that range is no longer an open proxy, I will not unblock it. That being said, you may be eligible for exceptions.

NOP:

The recommended way is to privately email stewardswikimedia.org (direct contact form). You can use any language, we'll do our best. Include:
the IP mentioned in the error message you got,^[1]^[2]

the username you use or would like to use and

the reasons why you think the global block was in error or why you need to use Tor.
