Problem with your editing or Wikipedia behavior (under any account or IP address) - your account or a connected IP has been used in a problematic way or there is a concern about your editing.

Editors may sometimes be blocked for repeatedly adding such problematic material to Wikipedia despite being asked to stop, or for other reasons that relate to information that has been suppressed. These blocks are called "Oversight blocks" (which is usually marked by using the {{Oversight block}} tag within the block reason).

Blocked users can continue to access Wikipedia, but cannot edit any page they are blocked from (including, if appropriate, their own user pages).

Blocks are used to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, not to punish users (see § Purpose and goals).
