School IP address Attention:

This IP address, 139.80.123.40, is registered to University of Otago 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.
This IP has been repeatedly blocked from editing Wikipedia in response to abuse of editing privileges. Further abuse from this IP may result in an immediate block without further warning.

I am a student at the University of Otago - all on campus internet access is routed through the proxy server(s), if this range is blocked it affects all students on campus. Admins feel free to report incidents of mass/chronic/repeated/patterned vandalism to helpdesk (at) otago dot ac dot nz. Because internet access is via proxy, I have been assured it will be possible to identify the students responsible and take action against them. Include every incidence of vandalism AND precise timestamp of each. Please consider this as another option that will allow vandalism to be addressed at its root cause.--139.80.123.40 03:58, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tycho Brahe

Thanks for editing Wikipedia. I've reverted your change to the Tycho Brahe article; although he later as associated with the university of Leipzig, he began in 1559 at the university of Copenhagen, as the article originally stated. But don't let this discourage you from more contributions. Do try to check your sources more carefully before making changes, though; there are many errors on Wikipedia, but that wasn't one of them.--ragesoss 00:38, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Captial punishment and Stoning

Hi. I've moved your comments on the Capital punishment and Stoning articles to those articles' talk pages. Wikipedia is not really the place to gather support for a cause or issue, but if you want to draw attention to such a cause, it's better to do it on the article's talk page than on the main article. -- Vary | Talk 13:13, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed content from Talk:John Ling. Please be careful not to remove content from Wikipedia without a valid reason, which you should specify in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. Thank you. If you feel that the edit I reverted should not have been reverted, please contact me. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 22:36, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] About Your Edits on July 28, 2006

  • You have recently vandalized the Wikipedia article Sumo among others, and you are now being asked to stop this type of behavior. You're welcome to continue editing Wikipedia, so long as these edits are constructive. Please see Wikipedia's Blocking policy and what constitutes vandalism; such actions are not tolerated on Wikipedia, and are not taken lightly.

We hope that you will become a legitimate editor and create an account. Again, you are welcome here at Wikipedia, but remember not to vandalize or you will soon be blocked from editing.

If you feel you have received this message in error, it may be because you are using a shared IP address. Nevertheless, repeated vandalism from this address may cause you to be included in any future sanctions such as temporary blocks or bans. To avoid confusion in the future, we invite you to create a user account of your own. ♥ FaerieInGrey 05:51, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
