Request reason:
this account is constantly and randomly associated with open proxy IPs and it's extremely annoying to have to wait so long just to get assigned to another random IP that is not considered "open proxy". i thought the only way to circumvent the problem is to register an account, which is what I did? so why is it still giving me problems?
Accept reason:
Because, it seems, what you really need is IP block exemption, and I'll take care of that for you right now. — Daniel Case ( talk) 16:04, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
I have granted your account an exemption from IP blocking. This will allow you to edit through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in.
Please read the page Wikipedia:IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions.
Note in particular that you are not permitted to use this newly-granted right to edit Wikipedia via anonymous proxies, or disruptively. If you do, or there is a serious concern of abuse, then the right may be removed by any administrator.
Appropriate usage and compliance with the policy may be checked periodically, due to the nature of block exemption, and block exemption will be removed when no longer needed (for example, when the block it is related to expires).
I hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit successfully and without disruption. Daniel Case ( talk) 16:04, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

I see you are one of the main contributers for this article. Welome to Wikipedia. I hope you are planning to add more to the page. An organization's own web page or blog isn't accepted by Wikipedia as a main source. Are there any news reports about the group? You need something to show that the group is "notable" enough for it's own article. Cloveapple ( talk) 20:17, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
I would just like to let you know that you have been unblocked. It appears initially that you were blocked as we found another account, GoharShahi ( talk · contribs) that was created, apparently by you. However, I noted that it's possible you decided to change your account name, but weren't aware of the process to do so, so I requested your block to be lifted, and it has. Just for future reference, if you do want to change your name, you can do so at Wikipedia:Rename as opposed to starting a new account. Sorry about the mix-up. Happy editing.

My Apologies, I have taken a closer look, and my block was incorrect. I somehow over looked the evidence, sorry about that and if you need anything, stop by my talkpage with the (t) in my signature. -- DQ (t) (e) 20:45, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi Zappyzac. In case you are not aware, there is an upcoming campaign to improve coverage of LGBT-related topics on Wikipedia, culminating with an international edit-a-thon on June 21. See Wiki Loves Pride 2014 for more information. If you are interested, you might consider creating a page for a major city (or cities!) near you, with a list of LGBT-related articles that need to be created or improved. This would be a tremendous help to Wikipedia and coverage of LGBT culture and history. Thanks for your consideration, and please let me know if you have any questions! -- Another Believer ( Talk) 17:55, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

The Wikimedia LGBTQ+ User Group is holding online working days in May. As a member of WikiProject LGBT studies, editing on LGBTQ+ issues or if you identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community, come help us set goals, develop our organisation and structures, consider how to respond to issues faced by Queer editors, and plan for the next 12 months.
We will be meeting online for 3 half-days, 14–16 May at 1400–1730 UTC. While our working language is English, we are looking to accommodate users who would prefer to participate in other languages, including translation facilities.
