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 to our Southern African friends. I removed old notices from this page, because it is shared by a lot of people.

[edit] November

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.--Jcw69 10:50, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

In your vandalism you misspelled "Egyptian", who -- by the way -- are not all fat and gay. If you continue in that same vein, you will be blocked from this site. –Hajor 15:20, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Jimmy Wales rv

It would be appreciated if you explained why you reverted my replacement of "modern day activities" with "recent activities". If you actually read the edit and considered it, and then reverted I don't mind. But if you reverted without actually considering the change, then I would advise you to slow down. Cheers. 168.209.98.35 21:11, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

And I would advise you to refer to the correct user. If you actually look at my last rv, it went from "recent" to "modern-day". Really though, it's not a tremendous issue considering the vandalism blitz on that article today. You could always restore that part. PJM 21:26, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Renaming of Pretoria to Tshwane

Thank you for your comments on the name change issue. I will have a look at the change process you pointed me to. It is obvious there will be those who will never accept the name change and there will always be Pretoria CBD and the suburbs of Pretoria and all the townships, locations and settlements that now form part of Tshwane. Then the maps and books too, which may never change.. Regards Gregorydavid 06:06, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Block on this IP Address, February 2006

This IP address is used by a large number of people, who are being blocked from editing Wikipedia, even when logged in. Internet Solutions is a major service provider that provides wholesale Internet access to smaller ISPs, so this block is probably affecting a very large number of people in South Africa. Please remove the block soon. 168.209.98.35 09:29, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

I have unblocked you. I'm sorry for the block, but your proxy had been exploited by the Squidward vandal. Mushroom (Talk) 13:23, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unblocked

I have unblocked this address, per request. Unfortunately it has been exploited more than once by the "squidward" vandal; however it seems that many legitimate users share this IP. Antandrus (talk) 19:15, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
