Attention:

This IP address, 207.241.243.140, is registered to Dutchess County BOCES ITS, and may be shared by multiple users. In the case of organizations 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.

If you are autoblocked repeatedly, we encourage you to contact your Internet service provider or IT department and ask them to contact Wikimedia's XFF project about enabling X-Forwarded-For HTTP headers on their proxy servers so that our editing blocks will affect only the intended user.

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.

Note: In the event of vandalism from this address, abuse reports may be sent to your network administrator for further investigation.

This IP address, 207.241.243.140, is registered to Arlington High School and is shared by multiple users. 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 will be made to contact Arlington High School to report abuse.

If you are an unregistered user operating from this address, note that this need not necessarily be the IP address of your machine. In many cases, it turns out to be the IP address of a proxy server that communicates between your browser and the Wikimedia servers. Such proxies are shared among a huge number of users compared to the number of persons using your particular machine. If you are frustrated by irrelevant comments appearing here, you can avoid them by creating an account for yourself. However, you will still be unable to edit Wikipedia while the IP you are using is blocked.

The above comment says it all. This IP address currently belongs to AHS, which I attend as a student (Junior year). AHS's IPs have previously been 207.241.244.1 and 207.241.250.1, and possibly other before that. (The IP address is also likely to change in the future.) For the former, I wrote that

207.241.244.1 is the IP address for Arlington High School in LaGrangville, New York. Because the entire school shares one server, any of the 100+ computers in our school distrcit can edit Wikipedia under the IP address 207.241.244.1. Unfortunately, blocking the IP address because of one technically literate but irresponsible person is a deserved action for that person (but an undeserved action on the behalf of the other 3000 students).

Editing Wikipedia is unofficially against school policy. This doesn't stop students from doing it, of course, and few edits are actually constructive. Since November 2005, only 17 good edits have been made and 20 other good ones have been reversions, mostly of things other students did. It is my suggestion that those who search for vandalism do not explain things to a faceless IP. Please note; thanks. P.S. The school has many times more than 100 computers. P.P.S. As a student I don't plan on editing WP, sadly. After all, it's against school rules. -Gracenotes T § 22:36, 30 September 2006 (UTC)


Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions.

Currently, you are editing without a username. You can continue to do so, as you are not required to log in to Wikipedia to read and edit articles; however, logging in will result in a username being shown instead of your IP address (yours is 207.241.243.140). Logging in does not require any personal details. There are many other benefits for logging in to Wikipedia. For now, if you are stuck, you can type {{helpme}} on this page and an experienced Wikipedian will be around to answer any questions you may have.

Please note these points:

  • Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
  • Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
  • If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
  • Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as: copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Both adding such unreasonable information and editing articles maliciously are considered vandalism.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, ask me on my Talk page. I will answer your questions as far as I can! Thank you again for contributing to Wikipedia. Antonrojo 17:13, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism by a user at 207.241.243.140

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing.

Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the hard work of others. Thank you.

I have sent an e-mail to school district personnel reporting the problem and asking for their help.--A. B. 15:46, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Update: The school district's Web Services Staff Specialist responded immediately that they would investigate the problem. In a later e-mail, he wrote: "Based on the IP address provided, we've been able to narrow down the location to a particular junior high school within our wide area network. ... that specific address is actually that of the building's firewall device ..." He went on to write that the school district is looking at Wikipedia's date-time stamps and the district's usage logs to try to narrow down the particular computers that were used, and if possible, identify the kids that did this.--A. B. 18:36, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
