School IP address Attention:

This host, hamster.dur.ac.uk, is registered to University of Durham (UK) 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.
School staff who want to monitor vandalism from this IP address can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.

You have been temporarily blocked from editing Wikipedia as a result of your disruptive edits.

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make any unconstructive edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant warnings.


This is your last warning.
The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Alexander's Swift, you will be blocked from editing.
Your edits have been automatically marked as vandalism and have been automatically reverted. The following is the log entry regarding this vandalism: Alexander's Swift was changed by 129.234.4.1 (c) (t) making a minor change with obscenities on 2008-01-18T18:59:33+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot (talk) 18:59, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 year for vandalizing Wikipedia. If you wish to make useful contributions, you are welcome to come back after the block expires.

This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | rangeblocks | unblock | contribs | deleted contribs) has asked to be unblocked, but an administrator has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock request while you are blocked.

Request reason: "UoD is an insitution with 15,000 staff/students, and probably in excess of 25,000 registered IT users. The "vandalism logs" are nothing of the sort, in that most of the items listed are not examples of vandalism. In the past nine months only a few examples (<5) of actual vandalism, none of which are persistent, appear. I - and probably not I alone - shall never associate my registered name with my institution's IP address, as I wish to maintain as much anonymity as possible (I usually edit articles from home, but in this case a point of fact will go uncorrected as I cannot edit it from my desk). A year-long block for this institution (and, I expect, many others) is, frankly, the unnecessary result of thoughtless admin work. If there were any indication of persistant editing / reverting of specific articles then a block of, say, a week might be in order, but there is no pattern of vandalism : all edits appear isolated events. A 1-year block simply serves to save a few minutes of peoples' time reverting a handful of incidents of obvious vandalism, at the expense of losing what are shown to be (via the edit logs) significantly more cases of worthwhile contributions. 129.234.4.1 (talk) 15:27, 12 March 2008 (UTC)"

Decline reason: "You claim that in the past nine months, there are only a few examples of actual vandalism. This is disingenuous given that the address has been blocked for just short of eight of the past nine months. Additionally, you have no right to edit anonymously and given the long history of vandalism, we simply do not believe it is safe to unblock this address. — Yamla (talk) 16:21, 12 March 2008 (UTC)"

Please make any further unblock requests by using the {{unblock}} template. However, abuse of the template may result in your talk page being protected.


Comment. (Another admin should rule on the unblock request, but I want to put my thoughts in.) You do not have a right to edit anonymously. In this case, the institution's inability to police itself makes the anonymous block necessary to protect the project from vandalism. You are not stopped from editing as a registered user. If you don't want to do it, that's your choice. --Nlu (talk) 15:32, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
