Attention:

This IP address, 69.2.124.11, is registered to Advance Publications Inc., 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.

[edit] Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like it here and decide to stay. For general guidelines you may want to read:

Here are some other hints and tips:

  • Please consider getting a username. You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and there are many benefits of having a username. Without a username, your IP address is used to identify you. Since IP addresses constantly change and can be used by many diffrent users, its best to have your own user account so you can avoid being mistaken by somebody who has a bad record of vandalizing articles.
  • When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically insert your username and date on the talk page.

Thanks again for contributing to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian.

[edit] Parade

Hello. You've thrice ([1] [2] [3]) replaced our article on Parade magazine with promotional material drawn at least in part from copyrighted text at parade.com. Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. You are, however, encouraged to add appropriate content to the encyclopedia. If you feel the material in question should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Tim Smith 02:39, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in Trading Places. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

[edit] May 2007

Please do not add unhelpful and unconstructive content to Wikipedia, as you did to Shortcake. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Jerm 19:29, 18 May 2007 (UTC)


Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Shortcake, you will be blocked from editing. semper fictilis 19:31, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] June 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. The Evil Spartan 17:25, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you add linkspam to Wikipedia, as you did to Hogwarts, you will be blocked from editing. Neitherday 19:32, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This is a shared IP address

Greetings to those who are posting in regards to any vandalism caused by this IP address. As the heading states, this is a shared IP, therefore there could be any of several thousand people who made these changes. It is likely that any requests to stop these edits will go unheard as this IP address will quickly change hands.

I apologize on behalf of all those who work for the organization to which this IP address belongs. I advise that edits from this IP address are blocked unless an account has been created and signed into.

Thanks.

This IP was accused of adding promotional material for Parade in December of last year. The linkspam added by this account today, 7 months later, was likewise for Parade. So, the same person (or people) seem to keep getting this IP. If you are not associated with the linkspam, it would be best to get an account on wikipedia instead of editing anonymously.

Actually, this IP is registered to the promotional company for several magazines (including parade) - for that reason, it may be a different person. In any case, a warning for someone who was adding any sorts of spam will probably be seen - we often seen public addresses, and people usually get the message. However, there is not much need to worry - we often see forms of subtle spam. May I ask, if you are a person of authority from this address, perhaps you could email an administrator (see WP:LA) and ask for this block. Regards. The Evil Spartan 17:14, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked

You have been temporarily blocked from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for continuing to add spam links.
