User talk:24.192.16.130

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Attention:

This host, d192-24-130-16.try.wideopenwest.com, is registered to WOW! Internet Cable Phone, and may be shared by multiple users. In the case of organizations using 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 and a block 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, in which case, 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.

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 severe vandalism from this address, abuse reports may be forwarded to your network administrator for further investigation.

This IP address is, as of February 14, 2007, currently in some way attached to the computer owned by Lockesdonkey; any edits made by this IP address are likely on account of the fact that said user is usually too lazy to log in. At the very least, post a copy of your messages on that user's talk page. Thank you.

Please, do not leave a message here warning for vandalism unless you have double-checked the diff; I make many small edits anonymously out of habit.

[edit] Boilerplate welcome message

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions.

Currently, you are editing without a username. You can continue to do so, as you are not required to log in to Wikipedia to read and edit articles; however, logging in will result in a username being shown instead of your IP address (yours is 24.192.16.130). Logging in does not require any personal details, and there are many other benefits for logging in.

When you edit pages:

  • Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
  • Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
  • If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
  • Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such content or editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. For now, if you are stuck, you can click the edit this page tab above, type {{helpme}} in the edit box, and then click Save Page; an experienced Wikipedian will be around shortly to answer any questions you may have. Also feel free to ask a question on my Talk page. I will answer your questions as far as I can! Thank you again for contributing to Wikipedia. Kukini 01:37, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit Summary Request

I have noted that you edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky or even vandalizing. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks! -- Kukini 01:37, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Seal of the United States Senate

There's been some back and forth edits on what graphic should be used as the Seal of the United States Senate in the United States Senate article. In order to resolve the disagreement, I'm trying to start some discussion on the issue on the article's talk page. Since you're one of the editors that has edited the Senate article in regards to the Seal graphic, I thought I'd let you know about the discussion in case you want to weigh in. Thanks. - Walkiped (T | C) 18:25, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism / Censoring

[edit] No vandalism allowed

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Some of your recent edits, such as those you made to Martha Stewart, have been considered unhelpful or unconstructive and have been reverted or removed as they could be considered to be vandalism. 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.

Methinks you fingered the wrong user - this edit reverted vandalism (despite not having a substantive edit summary).   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 02:07, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pearl necklace (sexuality)

Please stop. Wikipedia is not censored. Any further changes which have the effect of censoring an article, such as you did to Pearl necklace (sexuality) will be regarded as vandalism. If you continue in this manner, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 13:50, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits

Thank you for your recent constructive additions to Wikipedia. The IP address from which you contributed appears to be shared, and you may find yourself blocked or disrupted from editing Wikipedia due to administrator intervention against vandals who share your IP address. I would strongly encourage you to create a user account so that you may continue to contribute even in the event of a softblock. Thank you again for your support of the project! – Riana talk 16:37, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please 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. The Sunshine Man 17:29, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] July 2007

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Anal sex, you will be blocked from editing. Spartan-James 17:38, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make any unconstructive edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant warnings.

[edit] Welcome - Aug 2

Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might like to see:

You are welcome to continue editing articles without logging in, but you may wish to create an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits. If you edit without a username, your IP address (24.192.16.130) is used to identify you instead.

In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on this page. Again, welcome! Glad to have you! Note that there's apparently been a fair bit of ban-worthy vandalism that's gone across this particular IP before you got it. You'd be doubly wise to create an account if you're interested in making further contributions like those to the new Political ideologies in the United States article, to prevent your peers from doing something that might inadvertently result in your being banned.
