User talk:208.54.95.129/Archive1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Exercise extreme caution in blocking this IP address. As of 23 December 2006, T-mobile uses this IP for over 8,000 locations. The location I'm writing from now has 30 NAT IPs assigned to it. That potentially effects an estimated 240,000 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. This IP may serve as the primary ISP IP for many people. Therefore serious abuse can be reported and traced through the ISP. When blocking be sure to provide diffs on this page to justify the block.


Attention:

This IP address, 208.54.95.129/Archive1, is registered to T-Mobile USA (with 8,248 (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.
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]

[edit] African Jew

Hi. I'm posting this message on several accounts in the hope that you'll read it. I've been watching what's been going on recently with this page and I think something needs to be done about it. There are at least four editors (myself included) who seem ready to revert your edits as soon as they are made and there seems little point in your continuing to make them. Let me say I'm not Jewish; I'm not African and I don't know much or have strong opinions about either; I do however trust Kaelus and Ehav on the basis of their editing history and the contents of their talk pages to make rational edits. The reason I keep reverting is that I just don't understand the rationale for removing every occurrence of the word Jew from a page about Jews and I can only conclude that this is politically motivated - please tell me if I'm wrong. In the last few hours I've overlooked a violation of the three reverts rule and the probable use of a second account to circumvent this rule, both of which could potentially get you blocked and I'm hoping I can persuade you to talk about your changes, in line with normal Wikipedia policy rather than constantly reverting to the same version. If you have a problem with the nature of the article or with the current terminology used it might be in your own interests, in order to create a final page that is acceptable to you, to discuss your changes and to try to work towards consensus. Other users have explained their reverts on the article's talk page - why not do the same? At the moment you're coming very close to being blocked. If you would like to reply to this message please do so on my talk page; if you would like to talk about the African Jew article, please do so on the article's talk page. Thank you for reading. --Lo2u 01:24, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

  • I'm at the Atlanta Airport trying to work in Wikipedia and have never had this account blocked. It's a Tmobile account. I have never used it to spam or vandalize. Can you unblock this? It's terrible. 208.54.95.129 01:35, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
