Attention:

This IP address, 156.63.195.2, is registered to State of Ohio Network, 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.

[edit] Response

Yes, this is a shared IP address behind a firewall at the State of Ohio Division of Administrative Services IT Center. At least 1500 users at this location alone would appear to originate from this address as well as users from at least 5 remote locations who are all behind this firewall.

[edit] Response February 2008

I made a few minor edits to the Virginia Tech Massacre article last year. I did not contribute any new or speculative content. I merely altered some of the language that appeared the time to be subjective or speculative or confusing fact with opinion and tried to make it more neutral, objective, and to emphasise that it was not conclusive. I can't believe that would be considered vandalism.
