[edit] Other large governmental users
Should this list be perhaps expanded to included, for example, Saudi Arabian IPs, which all come through proxy servers? Physchim62 (talk) 15:12, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
- This list is primarly used for editors FROM large government bodies, as a reminder to admins placing blocks on them to use extra clear block reasons. — xaosflux Talk 02:46, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
I concur - where's the CIA, the DOD/DNS, 'etc? Raul654 22:01, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
- We may already block the CIA, and perhaps other intelligence agencies, somewhat. They use their own IP at least some of the time, but they also use anonymizing services, which we block when find out about them. A company that the CIA used went out of business, but they might be using a different one now. -- Kjkolb 09:43, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Government of Canada
Do you think we could add the IP addresses allocated to the Government of Canada to this list? The range is 192.197.77.0 - 192.197.86.255, or in CIDR notation:
- 192.197.77.0/24
- 192.197.78.0/23
- 192.197.80.0/22
- 192.197.84.0/23
- 192.197.86.0/24

- Yes, go right ahead. Then leaev a note to ComCom if they need to be added to the admin directions. — xaosflux Talk 02:31, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Comment
If I understand the current blocking implementation correctly, putting an exlicit, indefinite anon-only block on this IP should prevent any autoblocks from having effect. This would mean that toolserver bots can't edit without logging in, but I think that should be considered a feature. Should we do this? —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 23:57, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sensitivity
If blocks to these IP's would be so sensitive to the higher-ups at Wikipedia, why can't there just be a programming feature that allows only the highest levels of decision makers at Wikipedia to block these IP's?Tragic romance 12:03, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
