User talk:24.177.2.138

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Attention:

This IP address, 24.177.2.138, is registered to Charter Communications, 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.

Note: In the event of vandalism from this address, abuse reports may be sent to your network administrator for further investigation.
IT 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.

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Christopher Columbus. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. ¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 02:42, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE: accusations of vandalism

Hmmm, then what do you call this diff which lists your IP: link?¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 21:57, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

I think I may have spotted one way were it may have not been you. According to your WHOIS listing you have a charter communications address which may be shared by multiple users. If you do not mind I am about to add a tag which explains this. By adding such tag it alerts administrators to use caution before issuing blocks to the IP.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 22:09, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
