Thank you for experimenting with the page General Electric on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. -- Lost(talk) 07:30, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to General Electric. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. -- Lost(talk) 07:34, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Based on the pattern of behavior, I suspect the person making edits from this IP address (82.103.132.227) is the same person who was editing from User:71.250.179.101. Compare the edit history of the two (71.250.179.101 and 82.103.132.227) and you'll see that both followed a pattern of adding AFD tags to major companies (like General Electric, around this time), then after the AFD was removed, adding it again, saying it was removed "illegally" or similar. Apparently, the person is trying to make a point after an article on Chapter Zero was deleted. --DragonHawk 13:17, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism, and if you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the work of others. Thank you. -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 08:29, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

You have been temporarily blocked from editing for vandalism of Wikipedia. Please note that page blanking, addition of random text or spam, deliberate misinformation, privacy violations, and other deliberate attempts to disrupt Wikipedia are considered vandalism. If you wish to make useful contributions, you may come back after the block expires. alphaChimp(talk) 03:28, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

FWIW, this IP address is a Tor (anonymity network) exit node. Many people share it, and it's pretty close to untraceable.

It appears that someone is abusing it.

Please reference the entry on Tor (anonymity network) before deciding if blocking this IP address is a good thing or a bad thing.


This IP address has been blocked because it is believed to be an open proxy or zombie computer. To prevent abuse, editing from these proxies is currently prohibited. For more information about open proxies and what you can do, please see the WikiProject on open proxies.
