School IP address Attention:

This IP address, 198.45.18.28, is registered to Macmillan/McGraw-Hill School Publishing Company 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.

[edit] Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Here are some other hints and tips:

  • I would recommend that you get a username. You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and there are many benefits of having a username. (If you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.)
  • When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically produce your username (or IP address) and the date.

If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my Talk page, or type {{helpme}} on this talk page and a user will help you as soon as possible. I will answer your questions as far as I can. Again, welcome!

Thank you again for contributing to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. Thryduulf 15:22, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your "disclaimers"

Thank you for taking the time to add these links, which are more commonly known as "disambiguation" or "hatnotes" in Wikipedia jargon.

So that these links are consistently in Wikipedia's house style, it is best if you use a standard disambiguation template to produce the same effect. A full list is available on the Wikipedia:Hatnotes page. I have been updating most pages to use the template, and in the majority of cases I've found the {{otheruses4}} template to be the closest match. Thank you again, Thryduulf 15:22, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edits to Fat Man

This is your last warning.
The next time you vandalize a page, as you did to Fat Man, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Georgewilliamherbert 19:55, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

If this was a mistake, don't worry, as the text has been restored from the page history.
