Disambiguation link notification for November 12

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited STAR*D ↗, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Depression ↗ (check to confirm ↗ | fix with Dab solver ↗). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject ↗.</small>

Discretionary Sanctions Notification

{{Ivmbox|1=''This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does '''not''' imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.''

'''Please carefully read this information:'''

The Arbitration Committee ↗ has authorised discretionary sanctions ↗ to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to, (a) GamerGate, (b) any gender-related dispute or controversy, (c) people associated with (a) or (b), all broadly construed, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here ↗.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved ↗ administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia ↗, our standards of behavior ↗, or relevant policies ↗. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions ↗, bans ↗, or blocks ↗. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.|2=Commons-emblem-notice.svg}} Woodroar (talk) 01:45, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

{{unblock reviewed | 1=Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My host is inside my employer's firewall. If a proxy is in use by my employer, it is not an open proxy. Rogermw (talk) 20:20, 3 October 2017 (UTC) | decline = 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 ↗. Yamla (talk) 20:38, 3 October 2017 (UTC)}}

{{unblock reviewed | 1=Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My host is inside my employer's firewall. If a proxy is in use by my employer, it is not an open proxy. I neglected to specify my IP address the last time I make this unblock request: According to whatismyip.com, my IP address is 104.129.192.114; however, the block notification I received while attempting to edit a WP page specified IP address 104.129.192.190. Rogermw (talk) 21:04, 3 October 2017 (UTC) | decline = That IP address belongs to zscaler and, I'm afraid, is indeed functioning as an open proxy. It also functions as a man in the middle attack ↗, so I'm a bit surprised your company is using it, though there's nothing particularly wrong with that, so long as your company is fine with zscaler being able to read all, including encrypted, web traffic. Note that you may be eligible for WP:IPBE ↗ which would allow you to continue editing regardless. So why haven't I just gone ahead and granted you the exemption? Because I'm not personally sure whether or not you'd qualify. You are very welcome to apply and another admin, one who more regularly deals with IPBE, will take a look.
