From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Attention:

This IP address, 156.33.96.28, is registered to The United States Senate, and may be shared by multiple users. If the organization uses proxy servers or firewalls, 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 and a block may be shared by many. 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 see here.

If you are autoblocked repeatedly, we encourage you to contact your Internet service provider or IT department and ask them to contact Wikimedia's XFF project about enabling X-Forwarded-For HTTP headers on their proxy servers so that our editing blocks will affect only the intended user. Alternatively, you can list the IP at Wikipedia:WikiProject on XFFs.

Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking - if a block is needed, administrators should consider using a soft block with the template {{anonblock|optional comment}} as the block reason.

Note: In the event of vandalism from this address, abuse reports may be sent to your network administrator for further investigation.
IT 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.

Hello. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Otherwise, people might consider your edits to be vandalism. Thank you. Petros471 21:30, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for you reply on my talk page. I'd be happy to try and answer any questions you might have about editing Wikipedia. For the fastest response leave them on my talk page, or for a question about a specific article on the article's own talk page. Cheers, Petros471 16:34, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
PS. It helps if you sign comments by typing ~~~~, for easy tracking of the conversation.
  • I've done an end of month archive to my talk page, so you can see our conversation there if you need to. Feel free to post any further questions on my main talk page. You might have seen that I posted this on the RfC page. I would have given a fuller argument if I could (failed due to tech trouble), however if you wish to continue contributing to Wikipedia (you are very welcome to do so, as long as do make sure potentially controversial changes are discussed first) I recommend you register an account as described below.

You don't have to always discuss your changes by the way, just that if it's major and may warrant some colloboration, it's best to discuss first.
