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 might still be unable to edit Wikipedia if the IP you are using is blocked due to a MediaWiki "feature". In such a case you could request to be unblocked.

In the event of vandalism from this address, efforts will be made to contact SAIX to report network abuse.

WARNING! THIS IP ADDRESS IS A TRANSPARENT PROXY FORCED ON THE GREAT MAJORITY OF INTERNET USERS IN SOUTH AFRICA

A tag has been placed on your article Igor correia, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be a biographical account about a person, group of people, or band, but it does not indicate how or why he/she/they is/are notable. If you can indicate why Igor correia is really notable, I advise you to edit the article promptly, and also put a note on Talk:Igor correia. Any admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. You might also want to read our general biography criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that admins should wait a while for you to assert his/her/their notability, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and then immediately add such an assertion. It is also a very good idea to add citations from reliable sources to ensure that your article will be verifiable.--Jfurr1981 20:44, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

This message is regarding the page Jimmy Wales. Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. - Mo0[talk] 07:15, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Sjakkalle (Check!) 09:21, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Adolf Hitler. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. -Buchanan-Hermit™..CONTRIBS..SPEAK! 07:00, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --Latinus (talk (el:)) 13:02, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

You have been temporarily blocked from editing for vandalism of Wikipedia. Please note that page blanking, addition of random text or spam, deliberate misinformation, privacy violations, and repeated and blatant violation of WP:NPOV are considered vandalism. If you wish to make useful contributions, you may come back after the block expires. - BanyanTree 19:33, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

This IP address is a proxy. Glassbottle 06:06, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

It's part of a big South African ISP's national proxy cluster (see my user page for a bigger list), to which HTTP requests get assigned randomly. Blocking this one address does absolutely nothing to stop vandalism (a vandal just has to retry the POST to go through another address); however, legitimate users from this country now get a certain random percentage of their edit attempts refused. Please, remove this block as soon as possible. --Piet Delport 11:42, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
I second this and am also a user affected in this way. Please keep the blocks short. - Phorque 12:54, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
I'm also affected when I'm not involved in the actions that caused the complaints. The damage is done by persons who can apparently only be identified by their IP. If the system can be improved not to discriminate against those with longstanding usernames, it may solve the matter. JMK 15:32, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
I notice that a user who goes by the name of Sawireless2000, with apparently this same IP number, is responsible for the page 'Kobus van Rensburg'. It appears like a typical instance of this type of vandalism. I call for his removal. The page 'Kobus van Rensburg' must also be removed. JMK 17:49, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
