User talk:192.169.41.34

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Attention:

This IP address, 192.169.41.34, is part of a large pool of dynamically allocated addresses and is registered to the following Internet Service Provider (ISP) Pacific internet Singapore. At any time, it may switch to be used by multiple other customers of that ISP. Applying an infinite block of this IP is not appropriate, unless it is a soft block, because the IP address will later be reallocated to a different and unrelated and unsuspecting client of the ISP, thereby impairing access to Wikipedia in an inappropriate fashion. Comments left on this page may be received by other users of this IP and appear to be irrelevant. Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking. In the event of vandalism from this address, efforts can be made to contact Pacific internet Singapore to report abuse.

The best approach is to determine the ISP's CIDR IP numerical address range and make a higher-level decision to soft-block the entire range. http://www.arin.net/ (for approximately North America) and related sites can help to identify that range. If the ISP is large and financially successful, then caution is advised about doing a range block as other Wikipedians, both registered and otherwise, may be affected.

If you are an unregistered user operating from this address, note that this need not necessarily be the IP address of your machine. If you are frustrated by irrelevant comments appearing here, you can avoid them by creating an account for yourself.


Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking - if a block is needed, administrators should consider using a soft block with the template {{anonblock|optional comment}} as the block reason.

  • Don't take it personal if it is not you who vandalized. It is perfectly alright to not use an account, but you will have to accept that you sometimes get a message that is directed to the wrong person. Han-Kwang 13:09, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
