From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

School IP address Attention:

This IP address, 147.142.186.54, is registered to Ruprecht Karl University of Heidelberg 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.

[edit] IMPORTANT: User Identities

// For general information:

The headline indicated that this "IP address" belongs to a University network and hence "...may be shared by a number of individuals...".

I just wanted to confirm that this is INDEED the case. A large number of individuals - who often do not even know each other in any way - can use this address when they have access to a variety of libraries etc. So any "particular" praise - or blame - may be due to just ONE individual, out of an unknown number of contributers. After checking the "list of contributions" I can confirm that they have been made by more than one person (i.e. not all are mine, which I should know...). So even though it is not situated in the English language area, some - several - individuals (whose exact number is of course also unknown to myself) write under this address.

- Since this should be known when judging or commenting, I put this hint at the TOP of the page (out of the chronological order that we are supposed to observe otherwise).

Please refrain from removing content from Wikipedia, as you did to Cave of the Patriarchs. It is considered vandalism. If you want to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --DLandTALK 13:31, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

You are welcome to continue editing articles without logging in, but you may wish to create an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits. For one thing, if you edit without a username, your IP address (147.142.186.54) is used to identify you instead.

In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on your talk page. Again, welcome! --Quiddity (talk) 18:23, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
