  • This IP address has been blocked indefinitely because it has been used to vandalize Wikipedia in a manner which we have learned is associated with a computer that has been compromised or which is being used as an open proxy.

    • I realize this is a shared IP. Too bad. 90% of the edits from this IP are vandalism, including very severe vandalism. Either lean on your ISP to deal with their problem users, or get another ISP. Kelly Martin (talk) 21:41, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

This IP address has been blocked because it is believed to be an anonymizing or open proxy. Editing Wikipedia from these proxies is currently not allowed. Please consider the points below and if you still would like to contribute to Wikipedia from such a proxy, please e-mail jwales at wikia dot com and he will consider your case and make appropriate arrangements.

  • If you are merely concerned about your IP address being publicly available, then we recommend that you create an account and log in, which will prevent other editors from seeing your address.
  • If you have such a severe personal situation that editing Wikipedia with the level of anonymity provided by an IP number is dangerous to you, then we recommend that you refrain from editing Wikipedia.
  • If you have been using Tor to allow you to edit from China see Wikipedia:Advice to Tor users in China for a possible solution.
  • If you did not know that you were editing from such a proxy, you or your internet service provider may have a poorly configured system, or a trojan, that causes your system to act as an anonymizing proxy, then please try to fix this security hole. --Thorpe | talk 17:38, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

It is important to keep a cool head, despite any comments against you. Personal attacks and disruptive comments only escalate a situation; please keep calm and action can be taken against the other parties if necessary. Your involvement in attacking back can only satisfy trolls or anger contributors, and lead to general bad feeling. Please try to remain civil with your comments. Thanks!
