Attention:

This IP address, 198.54.202.94, is registered to Telkom SA Ltd., and may be shared by multiple users. If the organization uses proxy servers or firewalls, 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 and a block may be shared by many. 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 see here.

If you are autoblocked repeatedly, we encourage you to contact your Internet service provider or IT department and ask them to contact Wikimedia's XFF project about enabling X-Forwarded-For HTTP headers on their proxy servers so that our editing blocks will affect only the intended user. Alternatively, you can list the IP at Wikipedia:WikiProject on XFFs.

Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking - if a block is needed, administrators should consider using a soft block with the template {{anonblock|optional comment}} as the block reason.

Your recent edit to User:Van helsing (diff) was reverted by an automated bot. The edit was identified as adding vandalism, or link spam to the page or having an inappropriate edit summary.

This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | rangeblocks | unblock | contribs | deleted contribs) has asked to be unblocked, but an administrator has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock request while you are blocked.

Request reason: "This IP is part of a block that is used by Telkom South Africa, the previosuly state-owned telekoms monopoly. All attempts to force Telkom to NOT rotate IPs daily for DSL users have failed for years, including efforts via the telekoms regulator. By blocking IPs in this range you effectively cut off a large portion of the South African public. You are effectively blocking participation of a country from the Wikipedia. I personally have been unable to edit on most occasions for the past month. The wikipedia blocking system is in need of review, as it is not practically possible to sort out this situation."

Decline reason: "As outlined below, you can create an account through email. The history of this IP is such that these blocks are the only thing we can do. — Daniel Case (talk) 02:09, 15 May 2008 (UTC)"

Please make any further unblock requests by using the {{unblock}} template. However, abuse of the template may result in your talk page being protected.

Currently this IP address appears to be blocked for one week (see block log). A WHOIS lookup does confirm the IP is registered to Telkom in South Africa, along with other IPs in the 198.54.202.0/24 range (which has never been blocked). Looking at this IP's contributions record, it's been editing since late April and has been used several times in the past few days for pattern vandalism and harassment, without much other activity (see: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]). This block does not appear to affect a large number of people. You may wish to contact unblock-en-l to request an account (instructions available on the "you've been blocked" page you'll get when trying to edit articles); with an account, you should be able to edit while logged in. – Luna Santin (talk) 01:08, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your edits to December 18

Dear 198.54.202.94,
Some of your edits on the page December 18 have been undone by PseudoBot, a robot built to keep the date pages tidy. The problems are:

The person you added doesn't seem to have a Wikipedia page.

If the page exists, check that you've spelled and capitalized the name the same way as the article, and try again. If it doesn't yet exist, read this page carefully before creating it. In particular, you shouldn't create a page about yourself or anyone you know personally. If this bot has got it wrong (as can unfortunately happen), please accept its author's apologies, and (if you would like) leave a message on this talk page with the details, so it can be improved. PseudoBot (talk) 13:46, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Edits to other articles

The recent edit you made to Samp constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to vandalize pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thanks. CapitalR (talk) 17:02, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Please do not vandalize pages, as you did with this edit to Marijke Vos. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. Catgut (talk) 11:00, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Frederick Chiluba has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive.

[edit] June 2008

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits, such as the one you made to Oscar Pistorius.
If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing. — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 16:05, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
