Hello @Kasyap!

I can see that the specified IP address is blocked on English Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/14.139.82.6).

I'm guessing that this request is for increasing account creation threshold.

I would love to make a patch for increasing the limit to a specified IP address, but I think that you'll have to request English Wikipedia sysops to unblock that IP address (@Urbanecm please correct me if I'm wrong).
