Use the form below to block a specific IP address/range or username from changing pages and creating accounts. This should be done only to prevent vandalism, and in accordance with policy. Fill in a specific reason below (for example, citing particular pages that were vandalized, sock puppet accounts, the nature of the disruption). Make sure that the reason is civil, appropriate, and professional. Keep in mind that the block message will be very visible when volunteers try to change Wikipedia.
Expiry times are entered in the GNU standard format, which is described in the tar manual. Alternatively, a block may be "indefinite" or "infinite". For information about blocking ranges of addresses, see range blocks. To unblock someone see the list of blocked IP addresses and usernames.

- Blocks of governmental IP ranges: If you block any IP in the ranges listed on the right under "Sensitive IP addresses", you must notify the Wikimedia Foundation Communications Committee immediately (see contact instructions there or use the notifications page). These ranges are allocated to major governmental organizations; blocks of these organizations have political and public relations implications of which the Foundation's press relations team must be aware. Avoid long blocks of these addresses, and be especially careful in creating your block messages because your block message will probably be seen and commented on by the press.
