School IP address Attention:

This IP address, 193.190.253.129, is registered to Katholieke Universiteit Leuven 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] This is an IP address used by 20k students

This IP adress belongs to Kuleuven, a Belgian University with some 30.000 students. IP 193.190.253.129 is the university's proxy server for its network. Both students and professors use it. Please consider all other alternatives before blocking. If you have to block, consider blocking only anonymous accounts. Lots of students actually have a Wikipedia account and probably have something useful to add. If you block the whole IP, lots of people with no bad intentions will be punished too. (The Dutch Wikipedia also has this warning: [1])
