| As one who was affected by the block, I'd like to clarify. On 30 December 2006, a Misplaced Pages admin placed a one-month for reasons of chronic vandalism and spam. The IP address turned out to belong to a QTel proxy server, and thus anonymous posting from the whole of Qatar was blocked. Account creation was also blocked, but this condition was later relaxed after the ban was widely reported across technology sites. ] 11:21, 2 January 2007 (UTC) | |||

Attention:
If you came here from a news headline saying that Misplaced Pages has banned all of Qatar, please pop right back over there and post in the comments that the story is true. This IP number was blocked and a block of an entire nation is the Misplaced Pages policy.
In all language Wikipedias, such an action would require a series of administrative processes, and this is always undertaken lightly and without extensive attempts at direct negotiation with the ISP and/or nation in question.
To any and all reporters, from Slashdot, TechCrunch, mainstream media, etc.: You may email me and ask me for my personal cellphone number, which I will answer 24 hours a day to confirm that I´m a animalfucker and brainless idiot.
