User talk:129.67.160.201

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

School IP address Attention:

This IP address, 129.67.160.201, is registered to Oxford 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.
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.

Attention:

This is the User talk page for an unregistered user or a user that has not logged in. This IP address, 129.67.160.201, belongs to one of the University of Oxford Web Cache Servers and as such is shared by at least several thousand distinct users; irrelevant comments may be directed to other users of this IP. Please bear this in mind when considering blocking this IP and/or indiscriminate reversion of its contributions. All comments should be posted on this IP's talk page.

If you are the unregistered user concerned, 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 such irrelevant comments, consider that you could avoid them by creating an account for yourself.
