While holidaying in Surabaya Indonesia I decided to edit a article, logged in under my very clean user name, and surprise surprise, a range block!!
IP 36.74.128.0/17 by JamesBWatson. being no longer IT savvy for things like IP addresses, how wide is this range block? I think the ISP they use here uses dynamic IP addresses.
I would have though a legit editor user (me) after logging in would have over ridden a range block but no!
I also curious as to why as there is also no one here at the house I'm staying in who has even heard of English Wikipedia.
Guess the edit will have to wait till I leave the third world.
