The Human Stain

Please don't keep re-adding original research to the The Human Stain article. Under the circumstances, it's hard to think of a more obvious place to not place unsourced speculation than that section of that article.

Silly me thought that the removed edit was an edit collision problem... Probably should have looked at the edit history before I even started.

Request reason:

Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is 2001:470:1F2F:49:0:0:0:0/64. This is part of a IP4-IP6 tunnel service offered by Hurricane Electric which allows me to use IPV6 addresses and services from an ISP which provides IP4 addresses only. . Darkonc (talk) 18:57, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Decline reason:

I seem to recall from other requests from users using Hurricane that the admins with the technical knowledge who have looked at consider it indistinguishable from open proxies, which we generally don't allow editing from.

However, there is an option for users with registered accounts. Go to WP:IPEC and follow the instructions there ... you'll basically click twice and fill out a form. — Daniel Case (talk) 20:06, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

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.
