School IP address Attention:

This IP address, 207.161.78.42, is registered to Frontier School Division, Canada and may be shared by multiple users of an educational institution. In the case of institutions using proxy servers, this IP address may in fact represent many users at many physical computers.

For this reason a message intended for one person may be received by another and a block shared by many. If you are editing from this address and are frustrated by irrelevant messages, you can avoid them by creating an account for yourself. In some cases you may temporarily be unable to create an account due to efforts to fight vandalism, in which case please see here.


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

Note: In the event of persistent vandalism, anonymous editing from this IP address may be disabled for up to 6 months at a time while abuse reports may be forwarded to your school administration for investigation in case of long-term abuse by registered users.

Please do not add unhelpful and non-constructive information to Wikipedia, as you did to Talk:Jake. Your edits could be considered vandalism, and they have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Bencherlite 19:49, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

This is a public school server. Apologies.

OK. I've looked up the IP address on WHOIS and it mentions Frontier School Division, Canada, which I hope is right, so I've added the usual Wikipedia school shared IP notice to alert administrators to this issue if there is a repeated problem in future. Bencherlite 20:23, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
