School IP address Attention:

This host, bess-proxy.novi.k12.mi.us, is registered to Novi Community School District 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.
This IP address has been repeatedly blocked from editing Wikipedia in response to abuse of editing privileges.
Further abuse from this IP address may result in an extended block.

[edit] Account creation

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: "I wholeheartedly support a block of editing anonymously from this IP address, however I believe it's bad form to block account creation. It's generally reccomended that people in school create accounts to be held accountable for their actions, blocking a school IP will keep out the boneheads who vandalise regularly, but if you block account creation/hardblock the IP, then you're just being foolish and keeping everyone from editing."

Decline reason: "Sorry, it is fairly standard practice to disable account creation as well in a case like this where we are getting large amounts of vandalism from the IP.— Isotope23 talk 12:43, 27 September 2007 (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.

Request reason: "It's not "standard practice", it's the personal preference of the administrator. I don't appreciate when people try to confuse me with the Wikipedia process because I'm editing from an IP, under the assumption that I'm a stupid 5th grader who's trying to vandalise. I know about Wikipedia, I'm familiar with the block policy, stop bullshitting me."

Decline reason: "Then you can request an account by emailing unblock-en-l@lists.wikimedia.org using your @novi.k12.mi.us or school based email address. If you wish to get this block lifted, then ask your school to contact us on your behalf. --  Netsnipe  ►  11:54, 2 October 2007 (UTC)"

So I should give you my real name? Oh, wait, I don't have a school e-mail address, sorry. Or the other wonderful option! Talk to administrators who work in a building 4 miles away who ignore all attempts to contact them and who have no idea what they're doing? All because someone in 3rd grade fucked with George Washington!

If you're trying to demonstrate how you are one of the mature and reasonable people in the school who has something to contribute, you're not doing a very good job of it. Kevin 16:17, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Well, someone wants to contribute to your website and you crap on them and condescendingly give them the form-letter bullshit about "policy" that is 1) blatantly false and 2) only "enforced" 50% of the time. This isn't my first time on the Internet. I know what I'm talking about.
PS. It's also a steaming load that you would block 10,000 innocent people and then tell me to create an account to avoid the random-ass block that YOU placed, except whoops, I can't, because your wild drunk keystrokes happened to set the block to prevent account creation. Is everyone fucking high but me?
FWIW, the official school web site estimates the total district enrollment as 6,300 not 10,000: [1] --Jeremyb 12:35, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Actually.

Well, you block editing and account creation from my school. We don't have school-issued e-mail addresses and all external e-mail services are blocked by our use policy (and/or web filter). And I don't have a computer at home.

So why don't you just stop the sugar-coated load of "anonymous users from your IP address" and make the new IP block summary "Get the fuck out, die in a fire, we don't want you here"?

Probably because "Get the fuck out" would trigger your school's content filter. Seriously, though... if you're flying off the handle over something like this, one can only imagine the sort of response if one of your edits were corrected or reverted. Let alone whether or not they could be written without some form of obscenity or exaggeration. -- Kevin 15:19, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
Well, I don't exactly appreciate the fact that while every other person in the world can create an account and be judged on the actual content of their edits, I get crapped on and scrutinized before I can even start to do anything.
