Vandalism
This IP address has previously been used to vandalize Wikipedia. Vandalism is childish and generally dealt with quickly by the Wikipedia community. Vandals may also be blocked from editing.

Attention:

This IP address, 216.20.1.213/Archive1, is registered to Merrimack Education Center 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 Merrimack Education Center to report network abuse.

216.20.1.213  (talk · contribs · checkuser · block user · block log · edit count) This IS a shared ip address for a school...the only contribution I can recall making from school was an attempt to clean up the page on Aeneas. 3000 students? More like...800.

Boston Mafia articles

Hello, I'm leaving this message on every IP address you have used to edit our articles on Boston Mob personalities. I wanted to thank you for your dedicated contributions to your encyclopedia on these subjects. However, a few of the articles you posted were plagarized from www.whiteyworld.com. Please be aware in the future that copyrighted materials cannot be reproduced on wikipedia. We have been dealing with a drawn-out copyright issue with a person claiming to have relation to whiteyworld.com (see details here if youd like).

Anyway, the main reason I am writing this is to encourage you to create an account and log in. Several of the IP addresses you are using have been used to vandalize wikipedia, which means they occasionally get blocked from editing. Since you are contributing in good faith, I would hate to see you blocked for someone elses edits from the same computer, so I encourage you to create an account and use that to edit- Its easy and free. Thanks again for contributing. -Lanoitarus (talk) .:. 16:51, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
