unable to editEdit

I wanted to edit the semi-protected page what is a troll but despite being logged in I can only view the source. Could anybody explain why I can't edit here? --Dutchy45 (talk) 08:01, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

@Dutchy45: You need to be an autoconfirmed or confirmed user to edit that page. It was protected because of persistent vandalism. You were not an autoconfirmed user when you asked this question. However, you have been automatically granted permission in the meantime, so you should be able to edit the page now. --ZabeMath (talk) 17:51, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Blocked MessageEdit

What will the blocked message on this Wikimedia wiki be? Can you block me temporarily to test it out? 75.83.64.170 18:10, 16 December 2020 (UTC)75.64.83.170

I don't think we can take your block request, but as for your inquiry - you may view the blocked message here: MediaWiki:Blockedtext. —Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 19:25, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

@Atcovi I blocked for 1 week, not for this reason of course, but this user had been doing nonsense on meta, see the AF logs. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 19:32, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

Oof, yeah, now I see it. Thanks. —Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 19:34, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

My Article Was Deleted!Edit

I want to inquire regarding my article which was just speedy deleted. I am more than happy to revise the article in every way necessary but I need access to my work.

@Dcfmagic: Please notice that this project isn't wikipedia. --ZabeMath (talk) 18:00, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Suppression at de.wiktionaryEdit

2003:DE:3735:0:0:0:0:0/48 was blocked at de.wiktionary with a reason which simply is not correct. de.wt however, doesn't have something like en.wikipedia: Guide to appealing blocks.
Has Meta something when a local admin blocks users out of a personal dislike or to "win" disputes? -2003:DE:3735:4173:1D30:B938:5095:8993 15:54, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

The block is only for three days. Ruslik (talk) 11:55, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
