From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Attention:

This IP address, 196.25.255.242, is registered to SAIX and may be 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.

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.

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 08:07, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 08:09, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing Wikipedia for 24 hours for vandalizing pages despite repeated warnings to cease. If you wish to make constructive edits, you may return when the block expires.--Alhutch 08:10, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

This IP address is part of Telkom's transparent HTTP proxy cluster, which a significant portion of South Africa's HTTP traffic goes through. Blocking only part of the cluster has little effect against vandalism: each HTTP requests goes through a random servers in the cluster, so the only thing a vandal has to do to bypass the block is to retry the edit. The only real effect is that legitimate users all over the country (like me) have a random percentage of their edit requests blocked, too. --Piet Delport 15:40, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

sorry about that, I didn't understand the situation. i'm a new administrator. please let me know if there's anything else I do wrong.--Alhutch 17:10, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] January 2006

I've removed your change to Blog. Please don't do this kind of testing in our articles. We have a sandbox set aside for experimenting, which you might find helpful. Thanks! FreplySpang (talk) 07:09, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Feb

You have been temporarily blocked from editing for vandalism of Wikipedia. Please note that page blanking, addition of random text, deliberate misinformation, and repeated and blatant violation of WP:NPOV are considered vandalism. If you believe you have been blocked unfairly, please add the text {{unblock}} to this page, along with an explanation of why you believe you were unfairly blocked. An administrator will review your case. If you wish to make useful contributions, you may come back after the block expires. Vsmith 17:20, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SAIX

This is a SAIX gateway proxy simular to AOLs, please keep all blocks short as the offending user is using a different IP address by the time you block him/her. For example me --Jcw69 19:58, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
