I remember what the issue was - I am trying to connect from an IP address that is in a blocked range. Even using a new ISP and a different VPN provider. After changing the VPN server and more settings, my IP range is still blocked. I tried to resolve these issues with the Stewards in the past but was not able to.

Thanks Clay for the response and offering to look in, I really appreciate it.

If you're still interested in giving editing Wikipedia directly a go, it is probably easiest to create a new account at this link .

Your trouble may have been because the page chocolate can only be edited by users who have had an account for 4 days and have made 10 edits. It's just a way to stop people defacing the page. If you make those edits and wait the four days you should have an easy time.

Best, Rolling

Thanks for the work updating Wikipedia’s coverage of chocolate.

You mentioned my prior comments on editing Wikipedia – as I recall, it was because I was not able to log in with editor/contributor credentials.

I will take a look and let you know what I think.

If the updates make it to the front page, let me know and I will promote!

Hi All, 

For about the past year, I've been overhauling some of Wikipedia's coverage of chocolate. I've written some new articles, such as cocoa bean fermentation , chocolate in savory cooking and glossary of chocolate terms and have reworked old articles, such as history of chocolate and aerated chocolate .

A large part of my work has been researching and expanding the page for white chocolate , and it's now going through an internal peer review which will put it on the front page for a day (if you didn't know, Wikipedia has a front page ). I'm hoping that if anyone here is interested, they could have a look over the article and see if it gets anything wrong.

I also wanted to mention that I saw a comment Clay made a few years ago that he had some difficulty editing the page for chocolate. I wanted to offer my personal assistance with editing pages in this area.

Best,

Rolling
