User talk:208.54.95.1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

CheckUser evidence has determined that this IP address has been used abusively;
the address has been blocked temporarily or permanently to prevent further abuse.

If you are a registered user and are seeing this message, please post {{unblock}} on your talk page, with a note
referencing this message. Please be sure to include the IP address (which should appear at the bottom of the block message).
Administrators should not undo any block that is specifically called a "Checkuser" block. Period. The Checkuser knows something that you don't. If the unblock template goes up you need to ask the Checkuser why the block is there. The Checkuser might not tell you, but they will review the situation and decide whether the block can be lifted. It may not be obvious why that block is in place, but there is a reason.[1]
(see: block log • current autoblocks)

Attention:

This IP address, 208.54.95.1, is registered to T-Mobile USA (with over 9,000 (WiFi hotspot locations in the US sharing this one IP address), 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.



Attention Administrators:

Exercise extreme caution in blocking this IP address. As of 23 December 2006, T-mobile uses this IP for over (9,000 locations. Each location has approximately 30 NAT IPs assigned to it. That potentially effects an estimated 270,000 possible nodes. When considering blocking, It is not your average IP. It is not an open WiFi network either, but instead t-mobile collects personal identify information from every customer. Therefore serious abuse can be reported and traced through the ISP. When blocking be sure to provide diffs on this page to support the block and identify specific edits among a sea of different anonymous editors on this IP. This IP may even serve as the primary ISP IP for many editors.

Also try to be aware of Autoblocks that include this IP address. Keep in mind that an autoblock of this IP will simultaneously affect over 8,000 LANs throughout the continental United States so an autoblock on this IP address can potentially affect many other editors. This makes it especially important to avoid frivolous blocks. If an account block is necessary — and such a block therefore results in an autoblock of this IP address — we advise administrators to wait some time (miniutes or hours) and then lift the autoblock before the usual 24 hour period expires.

This should be an ideal candidate IP for Wikimedia’s XFF-RFC1918 Project using the entire private range 10.0.0.0/8. A request has been filed with ISP reporting.

[edit] Unblock request

This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | unblock | contribs) asked to be unblocked, but an administrator or other user has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators or users can also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). This unblock request continues to be visible. Do not replace this message with another unblock request nor add another unblock request.

Request reason: "Massive disruption my ass!"

Decline reason: "Not a reason for unblocking. But all else aside, I happen to have seen the disruption coming from this address, and I don't feel it's safe to unblock it, just yet. I'll see if I can get it converted to "anon-only," so that users who register will be able to edit. Luna Santin 10:49, 8 January 2007 (UTC)"

This template should be removed when the block has expired, or after 2 days in the case of blocks of 1 week or longer.

Please do... it's frustrating to be continually blocked just because I happen to have a T-Mobile account. CarolinianJeff 23:51, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] July 2006

Thanks for experimenting with Wikipedia. The links you added to the page Debt consolidation have been removed. Please do not add commercial links—or links to your own private websites—to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links.

[edit] September 2006

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. --Sivius T-C 02:25, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, as you did in Ski, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia. --Nlu (talk) 21:59, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] December 2006

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Benedict Arnold. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. RedRollerskate 15:40, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] January 2007

Please don't fake a standard template (particularly to add a personal attack) and don't thank yourself. Do so again and the IP will be blocked, shared or not. --Nlu (talk) 04:46, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

I really don't know what you're talking about. I think that banner to administrators is important and I know I worked with several editors on this network to get it just right. Cleraly it's needed if you think that posting a comment here is addressing a single Wikipedia user. Anyone loading a page from this network will see your misguided comment. As for the banner, it's not meant to be a standard template, though that might be a good idea. So far our little project has only identified three IP addresses attached to this network (208.54.95.1, 208.54.95.129, and 208.54.15.1). Though there may be others. So if the banner is placed on six pages (user and talk) then maybe a template would be a good approach to keep it consistent. if there's a personal attack in there it's too esoteric for me to recognize. Remove the personal attack, but leave the rest. Perhaps make a standard template so that edits like that will be transcluded on all the pages attached to T-Mobile's network.

This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | unblock | contribs) asked to be unblocked, but an administrator or other user has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators or users can also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). This unblock request continues to be visible. Do not replace this message with another unblock request nor add another unblock request.

Request reason: "This IP address is shared by thousands of T-Mobile users. Please change it to a "soft block" or "anon only" block that allows new account creation. You are doing a lot of collateral damage with this block. 208.54.95.1 03:15, 17 March 2007 (UTC)"

Decline reason: "Sorry, no can do. Too much abuse from this IP. —Pilotguy (go around) 13:37, 17 March 2007 (UTC)"

This template should be removed when the block has expired, or after 2 days in the case of blocks of 1 week or longer.

[edit] March 2007

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Silva Method. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
