Appealing block order[edit]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Banky G (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 41.190.14.107 I'm not using VPN or proxy changing service and I've been banned wrongfully several times, please look into this. I only use my phone's mobile network. Thanks Banky G (talk) 09:34, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Note that there is a difference between a block and a ban, the two words do not mean the same thing. I see no block on this account, or on the IP address you give. You edited successfully 15 minutes before making this request. If you are still unable to edit, please tell in a new request the exact message that appears when you attempt to make an edit. 331dot (talk) 09:36, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

331dot Okay, thanks. I am able to edit now, but wasn't like 20 minutes ago. Banky G (talk) 10:12, 20 October 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.

331dot I've been blocked/banned again. This is the message below The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be used by a peer-to-peer proxy service. These services allow users to change their IP address by proxying their browsing traffic through another user's computer. As with any open or anonymizing proxy or VPN service, these IPs may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. If you are using any service that changes your IP address, such as a proxy or VPN service, you will need to disable it in order to edit Wikipedia. Once you have disabled it, it is possible that you will still see a message stating that you are blocked. You may want to clear your browser's cache and/or cookies and refresh the page, in order to check whether you are still blocked.

If you are still seeing this message even after disabling your proxy or VPN, clearing your cache, and deleting all cookies for this website, then your IP address has been detected as a proxy and it has been blocked directly. Unlike legitimate commercial VPN services, these peer-to-peer proxy services exploit their own users' network connections to proxy traffic for other users. These services are frequently advertised as "residential VPNs" or "IP changers", and they are too numerous for us to list here. You will need to fully remove these tools from your network, and then either request to be unblocked, or wait for the block to expire. To help you identify whether this block is targeted at your home network, we have included the following information about the IP address or network targeted by this block. IP address: 41.190.14.152. Internet Service Provider: This resource is assigned for EMTS Nigeria's commercial use. If you have not recently used any proxy, VPN, or IP changing service, it is possible that a previous customer who was assigned your IP address was running one of these services. More rarely, your network equipment or that of your service provider may be misconfigured or compromised by malicious software. For more information, see the WikiProject on Open Proxies.

Request reason:

I'm not using VPN please. I don't know why my IP address is changing and I can't deactivate it but I promise I'm doing my best to follow Wikipedia rules and regulations. Help

Decline reason:

Procedural decline only. You forgot to tell us your IP address so we can't investigate your claim. You can find this using WhatIsMyIP. If you don't wish to provide this publicly, you may use WP:UTRS to provide the IP address privately. Yamla (talk) 11:33, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'll note that your ISP sells many IP addresses as peer-to-peer proxies. You'll need to take this up with your ISP. --Yamla (talk) 11:33, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

November 2022[edit]

Hello, I'm RFZYNSPY. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Asake—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. RFZYNSPY ^talk 23:54, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@RFZYNSPY And what do you mean it was not constructive, I'm not experimenting anything, I've been editing this page since it was created, so please do me a favor and restore my edit. You can't just go around reverting people's hardwork! Banky G (talk) 00:03, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Banky G I apologize. I was reverting vandalism with a tool called Huggle and somehow I must have mistakenly reverted your edit when trying to revert another. This is completely my mistake, and it was unintentional. You're welcome to reinstate your edit! RFZYNSPY ^talk 00:09, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@RFZYNSPY Thanks! Understood. Banky G (talk) 05:29, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Any reason why you didn't include this friendly game?[edit]

Hey. Good job you are doing. Going through your page Draft:Nigeria women's national football team results, and noticed this game was not included. Was that because the opponent is a clubside? HandsomeBoy (talk) 16:02, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@HandsomeBoy Thanks. Yeah, I didn't include it because it was a club side.

By the way, why is this page still drafted and not live? Banky G (talk) 19:55, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I can move it to mainspace on your behalf. While it may require updating, it looks good as a foundational article. I am very deliberate about records article such as this. Good job!HandsomeBoy (talk) 13:38, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@HandsomeBoy Alright. Thank you so much. I'll try to keep it updated always. Banky G (talk) 14:22, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
