School IP address Attention:

This IP address, 128.252.254.26, is registered to Washington University and may be shared by multiple users of an educational institution. If the institution uses 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. Similarly an innocent user may be blocked for another user's vandalism. 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; if so, please read our advice on this situation.

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 from this IP address, anonymous editing may be disabled for up to 1 year at a time. Abuse reports may also be forwarded to your school administration for investigation.

Trying to prove you wrong on Wikipedia's reliability? Your friend just vandalized an article and basically proved your point. ;) Anyone can change Wikipedia, so, who's to say a vandal can't come along and change values from one to a factually incorrect one (i.e. 1970 -> 1968). --EoL talk 00:56, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
