From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

School IP address Attention:

This IP address, 62.255.252.76, is registered to Dr Challoner's Grammar School 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] This page is monitored by DCGS staff

[edit] School procedure for dealing with vandalism

This outline is provided both for reporters of vandalism, and those who might commit it, as a show of commitment by the school that this behaviour is not tolerated. Incidents of vandalism by students are always considered on a case-by-case basis according to their severity, however, instances of vandalism involving profanity or personal attacks by lower school students (ages 11-16) are normally passed with supporting evidence to the school's Student Development Office, a dedicated team whose roles include acting as a central point for student discipline.

Instances of vandalism involving personal attacks by Sixth Form students (ages 17-18) are normally passed with supporting evidence to the Head of the Sixth Form for disciplinary action.

[edit] Support for blocks

IT Support continues to fully support long-term blocks on anonymous editing from our site in conjunction with our efforts to discipline users who vandalise Wikipedia. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any queries or comments. Jay Schlackman (talk) 09:00, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] School proxy implementation

Note to admins — the school currently operates 2 proxy servers; the other resides at 62.255.252.75. Outgoing internet access is load balanced between these two servers using Round robin DNS, and so any ban put in place should be applied to both IP addresses for it to be effective.

[edit] Other users

Dr Challoner's Grammar School also provides IT services for other schools in the surrounding area, including some network infrastructure services. At present, The Beacon School in Chesham Bois shares the Challoners outgoing proxy servers, and so edits from users at that school may appear to come from this IP.
