From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

School IP address Attention:

This IP address, 66.158.33.5, is registered to Rondout School (Lake Forest, IL) 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.

Please stop. If you continue to vandalise Wikipedia, as you did to War of 1812, you will be blocked. -SpuriousQ (talk) 16:06, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalise Wikipedia, as you did to War of 1812, you will be blocked from editing. -SpuriousQ (talk) 16:32, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My IP

I'd like to inform you that if you block this IP address for editing, you will be blocking the entire school network. As a teacher on this network, I'd appreciate it if you didn't block our static IP address for editing. I will do my best to inform my kids about appropriate Wiki editing and how to not vandalize, but until that time, I hope you consider keeping our IP operable.

Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.158.33.5 (talk • contribs)

Hi! Thanks for your message and responsiveness in this matter. Blocks for shared school IPs are typically issued only for very persistent vandalism in a short time interval, which doesn't appear to be the case here. Furthermore, the blocks are temporary, but with longer durations for chronic cases. I'll indicate on the IP's talk page that it is a shared school IP. It would be helpful if you could provide us with a URL of the school. Thanks. -SpuriousQ (talk) 18:16, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
