[edit] Blocked!

Psiphiorg 18:47, 12 April 2006 (UTC)


As you can see from Special:Contributions/12.2.142.7, someone using this IP address committed "SQUIDWARD" vandalism. I'm sure this wasn't someone inside your company (because this particular vandal abuses hundreds of IP addresses all over the world, often simultaneously), however the vandal made use of your company's network to commit vandalism against a third-party website (Wikipedia). Either 12.2.142.7 is an open proxy which allows random users and hackers from remote locations to surf the Internet through it, or at least one computer within your company has been hacked and compromised and turned into a "zombie" which is part of a botnet controlled by an outside hacker. You might want to bring this to the attention of your network administrators.

Regarding your e-mail, there is no difference betwen the 12.2.142.7 "user" and the 12.2.142.7 "address" from Wikipedia's point of view they are one and the same thing. Unfortunately, when an IP address is blocked, every user (even logged-in users) who use that address is blocked as well (because that's how Wikipedia's software works). Your username isn't blocked and you can still use it when logged in from home, for instance, but as long as the IP address is blocked no users (logged in or not logged in) can edit Wikipedia through it. -- Curps 06:07, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I've unblocked the IP, hopefully no serious vandalism will come from the IP, it might get blocked again -- Tawker 05:50, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Looking at Special:Contributions/12.2.142.7, it appears that only one edit was made between your unblock and the time it was re-blocked, and that edit was not vandalism, but an actual edit to the page (see the edit in question). Why was the IP address blocked a second time? --Psiphiorg 23:08, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] listdev vs. stub

I was stub-sorting and noticed your edits to List of Statutory Instruments of the United Kingdom, 1960 and List of Statutory Instruments of the United Kingdom, 1958. You added both {{stub}} and {{listdev}}, but the two are really mutually exclusive. If it's a list, then it's not an "article" (and thus, a stub) per se. I've removed the stub tag from both, since listdev is a better tag for them. Just wanted to let you know. Have a great day and happy editing! ~ Amalas rawr =^_^= 21:50, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Userboxes

I've done a little "spring cleaning" (yes I know it's summer ;) on your userboxes; cleaned up formatting, table-ised, removed deleted userboxes, userfied userboxes, etc. I also took the languages out of the Babel box and arranged them seperately in their own table. If you don't like any of what I've done, feel free to revert it but I hope it helps. — Nathan (talk) / 04:58, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The CW

Hey Psiphiorg!

Thanks for catching my slip-up here. I appreciate the quick fix. :) Happy editing, Firsfron of Ronchester 05:53, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Irwin Schiff

Dear fellow editor: Thanks for cleaning up my footnote work in the above referenced article. It appears that the following verbiage is still in the article (and should be), but is not viewable unless I'm on the edit page:

At the Court of Appeals, the admission of the videotape was ruled unduly prejudicial, the conviction was overturned, and the case was remanded for a new trial. He was convicted a second time for failure to file, and that conviction was affirmed. [footnote coding here] United States v. Schiff, 647 F.2d 163 (2d Cir. 1981).

I think this is some sort of coding problem, but I'm not sure how to approach it. Can you take a look at it? Yours, Famspear 20:06, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Dear Psiphiorg: OK, I think I've made the correction. Thanks, Famspear 21:52, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for copyediting me for the second week in a row on Survivor: Cook Islands. I think my problem is that I'm keeping notes as I watch the episode and am writing it as it happens, not thinking that it's already happened. -- Gogo Dodo 04:51, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

No problem. I'm just playing my part in the Wikipedia community.  :-) --Psiphiorg 05:44, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jericho

Thanks for fixing up the morse code tables...I tried, but yours looks much better. I just got sick of seeing it all in a long string of dots and dashes, sometimes being broken at the end of the line in mid character. Thanks again. WarFighter 19:24, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks...

...for catching the "an"->"a" error at Jericho. I forgot to change that when I edited the lead - glad you're paying attention. Cheers. --Ckatzchatspy 21:51, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
