School IP address Attention:

This IP address, 209.188.169.2, is registered to San Mateo County Office of Education 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] February 2007

Please stop. If you continue to vandalise the userpages of other users, as you did to User:Animedude360, you will be blocked. Wodup 03:37, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make any unconstructive edits, please ignore this warning

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize the user pages of other users as you did to User:Animedude360, you will be blocked. User: Hdt83 | Talk/Chat 00:42, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I've given this IP a 48 hour block due to repeated vandalism of Hammerspace. I'd have blocked longer if this wasn't a shared IP address, but if problems continue after the block expires I'll start using longer block periods since the IP address doesn't appear to be used much otherwise.

The editor returned to Hammerspace once the block was up and made the same deletions again, so I've blocked again for a full week this time. Bryan Derksen 07:24, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Your recent edit to Al-Qaeda (diff) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles.

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia.

Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

[edit] June 2007

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia articles, such as those you made to Sandpit, even if your ultimate intention is to fix them. Such edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Will (aka Wimt) 21:21, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.


[edit] Your edit to African-American Vernacular English

[edit] Message posted on Thursday, June 7, 2007

Please stop adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to African-American Vernacular English. It is considered vandalism, which, under Wikipedia policy, can lead to blocking of editing privileges. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Speaking for myself, I am sorry to learn that someone at your school is so deficient in both manners and sense.

I am sorry this is a shared IP address for many schools. I am sorry if this post is not formated properly. You may delete this if you so wish. I just wish to apologize for that persons incompetence. My humble apologizes again. Laxdjames

Thanks for that. This particular bit of vandalism was something I found hard to pardon, even though the editor erased it soon after adding it. The change nevertheless remains in the article's edit history. Wikipedia invites everyone to edit the encyclopedia in appropriate ways. This openness is something that a few people take advantage of. It should not be taken to reflect on the whole school district. Thanks again for your kind apology. -- Rob C (Alarob) 06:27, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
