 == Regarding the thread you posted on the administrators' noticeboard == 

 If a user is blocked from editing, as an anonymous user, then to unblock them an administrator must know their exact IP address; otherwise it is impossible to unblock the correct address. This can be gotten by the user in three easy ways that I can think of: 
 #Visiting Special:Mytalk, which sends the user to their talk page. In the case of this person, while not logged-in it would send them to the talk page of their IP address. 
 #Attempting to edit a page, which causes the block message to be displayed. It should tell the user what their IP address is. 
 #Using an external IP-displaying site which reveals to one their IP address without them needing technical knowledge. I don't know any in particular, but I'm sure that Google would make finding one trivial. 
 Once we have the IP address, it would be easy to check for blocks or range blocks, and then either grant the user (as a registered user) IP block exemption or to unblock the address.I hope this helps; let me know if you need any further help with this. {{||log}} "
