Problems Creating a Wikipedia Account
Q: I got a "Account Creation Error" or "You are currently unable to edit Wikipedia due to a block affecting this IP address" when I tried to create my Wikipedia account.

A: If you are able to use the UW VPN, give that a try. Access to VPN can be subject to international law, so please be aware of the restrictions that may apply to you if you are accessing the course from a country other than the US. Use the 'all internet traffic' option. If you are unable to use the VPN, please contact the teaching team so that we can work on getting you a whitelisted account.
