This IP address, 158.195.15.9, is registered to Comenius University and is shared by multiple users. Comments left on this page may be received by other users of this IP and appear to be irrelevant. Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking. In the event of vandalism from this address, efforts will be made to contact Comenius University to report abuse.

If you are an unregistered user operating from this address, 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 irrelevant comments appearing here, you can avoid them by creating an account for yourself. However, you will still be unable to edit Wikipedia while the IP you are using is blocked.

Welcome, and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia! Your test worked, and thank you for reverting or removing it yourself. The best way to do tests in the future would be to use the sandbox. You can look at these pages as well: how to edit a page, the tutorial, and how to write a great article. All of these pages are good places to start. Again, thanks, and we hope that you will like Wikipedia. Feezo (Talk) 12:16, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Advertising

This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. - Gobeirne 06:15, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Could you be more specific about the reason for this warning? I edit from this IP (but also some other people) and I'm not aware of any kind of advertising (although I usually edit using my accout, but it might be that from time to time I forget to login and there are probably a few entries I've edited anonymously). --Kompik 07:13, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
See the edits from the 20th and 21st of April - Gobeirne 09:43, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
Well that weren't my edits. The guy seems to continue in it. But I can say I'm not sure it can be considered advertising. --Kompik 13:10, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
It's absolutely advertising - the guy isn't doing it out of the goodness of his heart, the pages he links to have a line or two of information, accompanied by a few hundred links. It's just a link spam ploy to get higher on the search-engine rankings. More info at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Spam - Gobeirne 20:29, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
