[edit] And the point of that is?

And the point of that is? 68.39.174.238 02:50, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
That people keep wondering which ISP allows IPs to remain static for years? Flyingtoaster1337 08:28, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
Comcaſt gives some degree of statisticity[sic] by mapping IPs to MAC addrs. Hence, by keeping the same MAC addr facing their DHCP svrs, I've been steadily assigned this IP addr for about 2 years. Prior to that I'd had some different routers with different IPs. Some of my contributions can be seen to articels like New City Village (Which are totall newbies). 68.39.174.238 22:19, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
I see nothing wrong with removing this box. The user that added it used an edit summary of ":P", and it is redundant to the whois links on the bottom. Regards, Tuxide 04:20, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
It's not annoying, it just didn't immediately make sense. 68.39.174.238 07:10, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
I've been assaulted (;D) with this box so you can add a new section

grr This user does not want a userpage. If you create one he will gnaw on random limbs.

Your neighbors have been blocked in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating policy against letting off fireworks and munitions in celebration of the Gregorian New Year against the peace of this State, the government and dignity of the same. To contest this block, please move to another State and let them deal with you or email the blocking administrator or any administrator from this list.

Note to sysops: Shooting off fireworks where it's illegal should almost never be done. If you disagree, contact your system's administrators.
Note: In the event of persistent disregard for the law, like your neighbors displayed this year, AGAIN, the local authorities should do something, but are almost certain to not do so, unless their fireworks do something like start a fire.
This is your final warning. If your neighbors continue to shoot off fireworks next door, feloniously discharge weapons up or at things, including trashcans or rusting cars, or continue to engange in any other noxious effontery, as they did to attempt to "celebrate" the New Year, you will be exiled from New Jersey indefinitely.

    GEH! I STRONGLY protest the assertation that IPs are vandals, or the assumption of that. I *WILL NOT* get an account solely to satisfy such people. 68.39.174.238 06:51, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
    When I say "recognized", I allude to the fact that a username entry would be easier for a human patroller to recognize as a contribution from a trustworthy editor, rather than incurring simultaneous scrutiny by six or seven patrollers. Also, while it would be debatable to say "most IP users are vandals" (because I suspect a large portion of the IP-user vandalism is caused by relatively few actual people), it not debatable to say "most vandalism does come from IP users." Thus, you should, really, take no offense to this. — FREAK OF NURxTURE (TALK) 07:10, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

  82. You really should register for an account, bro. You're setting yourself up as a target for discrimination. As you definitely know by now, many people run on the assumption that anonymous accounts are newbies or vandals, and scrutinize the edits of such accounts very heavily. You almost seem to encourage this, by keeping your userpage redlinked and by refusing to register, but I'd still like to suggest that you do so. The couple of minutes it takes to set up an account would save you a lot of hassle in the long run. Just my two cents though, and I'm sure you have your reasons for not doing so. Either way, best of luck to you and thanks for your contributions. =) – Lantoka (talk) 21:52, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Unsure Well, what we want to defend is the ability of anonymous users to edit. You have an identity (which is the scourge of modern society as far as I'm concerned -- well, at least you don't have some godawful user page). You can't very well point at your contributions and say, "See?" because if unregistered editing were turned off, people like you would just get an account. So no loss. What has been proven? On the other hand, I don't know of a better way to make your point, and I do think it needs to be made, because the way things are, unregistered editing is slowly getting more and more restricted. So, I am unsure. 70.30.114.149 01:24, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

I just wanted to say, I do want you to make an account but I also am also, at the same time, won over by your strong resolve that you're not creating an account to show us Wikipedians that not all IP addresses are vandals or such, and won't make an account to as you said, "to satisfy such people" and/or to become an admin.

Um, not sure how else to get in touch with you. You sent me a message about not editing a section, something with vandalism. Thing is, I haven't edited any entries in wikipedia. I'm guessing it's a program error. Sorry, just wanted to give you a heads up. (Feel free to delete this off your page once you read it.)

[edit] English is the universal language

Yug seemed to forget that we should be trying to establish communication with the German Lab as well. I think we need to get going and make setting standards a worldwide effort. The English lab should try to take on a dominant role is setting these standards, as it's destined to become the big dog in the room. We might make a point that English should be used for setting the standards, as it's the most universal of the three languages. i. e. higher percentage of the french and germans speak english than of the anglophones speak the other languages. I don't really know about the technical standards to make any contribution there, but we've probably already got as many or more technical people as the French.

[edit] Images

I wish you would get an account! Do you think I am the sort of editor who would upload a truckload of images if I didn't have permission to use them? I have forwarded my email to the permission branch of wikipedia -its up to them to sort out the OTRS ticketing now ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ Talk? 21:34, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

And yes thats exactly why I didn't upload them to the commons because people there are in the frame of mind of delete first ask questions later ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ Talk? 21:36, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your message on my talk page regarding your OTRS query. I've search through the system a number of different ways and been unable to find a ticket relevant. However, it is of course important to note that just because I wasn't able to find the permission, it doesn't mean it isn't there. I'll ask the uploader for some more details to allow me to track down the email and I'll let you know what progress is made on this issue. Regards. Adambro (talk) 18:03, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

I used TWINKLE when nominating these, and it notified Kylu not you, 68.39.*. The debate should be closed as I was not thinking straight when I nominated it - I was vandal-fighting and doing a fair bit of vandal-reversion yesterday. Apologies to 68.39.174.238 and Kylu for this nomination, it wasn't a bad-faith nomination, I just wasn't thinking straight.

Does the fact that it now fails to return anything count, or is that because of the "bug fixing in progress" ? 68.39.174.238 (talk) 18:11, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

It works for me (tested when I reported the bug fixed and three minutes ago). When you say "fails to return anything", do you get a completely blank screen, or an error message of some kind? Seeing as the script is server-side, reloading without cache shouldn't help, but maybe there's something about the form that's changed, so give it a shot. --Slashme (talk) 05:09, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the proper flag to our Battle of the Little Bighorn article. I had removed an anachronistic reginmental flag from the 1920s and tried to upload and post a guidon image; another editor had kindly supplied a better and more legal image, and I appreciate the fact that you placed it properly on the page. I still have a lot to learn about how to do stuff like that. Funny thinh is - I've done it correctly in other pages but forgot how to. Thanks! Sensei48 (talk) 07:28, 30 January 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Indonesian COA

The first image, the one from vector images.com is obviously a derivation of the gov't COA. At some point derivations can become different enough to allow their own copyright. I don't know how that is defined. Quite probably it depends on how good a lawyer you hire. We should avoid redrawing (in vector) close copies of images from VI as there is a possibility that the image has been changed sufficiently to qualify for its own copyright. Which would be a Russian copyright, because VI is, as you know, in Russia. There's another real world factor. It would take a hell of a lot of rubles to hire a decent attorney in the U. S. or U. K. or wherever they would have to sue Wiki. My thought is to quietly move away from using their images. I put this on your talk page, as I don't want educate certain deletionist parties who frequent the graphics lab, please consider deleting it. (It's late, I'm tired, so this probably makes no sense, anyway.) Sagredo⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 20:10, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I meant deleting these comments. I don't know how fast we can do them. The scouting people were kind enough to put a barnstar on my user page, just as they emailed me a list of about 30 logos. The real world is likely to start demanding more of my time, as well. On the VI images, we need to find (google) government (or whatever) images to be sure we're not redrawing something like the wings of the Indonesian eagle. The first part of the project should be to replace the VI rasters with ones from safe sources, concentrating as you say national and state emblems first. an Image google for the motto also worked well.

We could do without the time wasting copyright debate on the graphics page, too. It think User:Sagredo/copyrights and trademarks is ready to be looked over by one or more of Category:Wikipedian intellectual property lawyers, and then should be moved to the graphics lab.

I have a hypothesis that this IP address does not belong to one person, but has changed hands a multitude of times over the years.

I propose to call this the "68.39.174.238 alternating users hypothesis". There could be a user box and everything. Okiefromokla questions? 19:54, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

As far as I know, ever edit made from here as been mine. Granted, someone else could've edited for a time and I wouldn't've known it if they didn't do something really noteworthy that later came back to me. 68.39.174.238 (talk) 20:28, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] nominated for adminship

G'day. I would like you to consider Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/68.39.174.238 seriously. As I have noted there, I suggest that you create an account that would take the sysop flag once appointed, and you could continue to edit from an IP address whenever it suits you. You would then be able to do sysop actions when appropriate, reducing the double handling. This is not without precedent, as I have successfully nominated another good contributor who had continued to edit from an IP address until I thought his contributions were of sufficient quality that he would be an asset to the admin team.

[edit] Reverted "confusing" and "wikify" on Intelligence Community A-Space

Unfortunately, when an article-wide tag is attached with no explanation on the talk page, little progress can be made on reducing grounds for complaint if they are not obvious to other editors. In this case, for example, it is not clear how the article is deficient in wikilinking. I see quite a few wikilinks. Also, the article does not depend on external links; all its references are appropriate and in inline form.

How is the article confusing? Is there, for example, use of unfamiliar intelligence terminology that has not been wikilinked? Again, this can't be fixed if there's no information on the source of the confusion. Looking at the text, I might argue that the reference to GAMMA should be in parentheses rather than brackets, or even as a footnote, but it would surprise me if that's the chief problem.

While these questions are specific to this article, I would urge editors placing article-wide tags to make a regular practice of putting specific critiques on the article talk page.

For as long as I've known 68, he's refused to have a user page or redirect because it reinforces the point that as long as we still have anonymous editors on this site, we need to assume good faith and not prejudge an edit based on whether a user page link is either red or blue. --  Netsnipe  ►  16:13, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
