[edit] Re: blocking

If a registered user gets blocked (in many cases due to a patently offensive username), and then attempts to edit after being blocked, whatever IP address that user is attempting to edit from gets automatically blocked for 24 hours. This appears on the Special:Ipblocklist as:

  • [SomeTimestamp] [SomeAdmin] blocked #[SomeBlockNumber] (expires [SomeTimestamp + 24 hours]) (Unblock) (Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "[SomeBadUser]". The reason given for [SomeBadUser]'s block is: "[SomeGoodReason]")

This is intended to reduce the effect of vandals who vandalize with multiple accounts, whilst still protecting the privacy of their actual IP address. In the future, you can place something on your talk page like this:

{{unblock|my IP address was recently used by [SomeBadUser]}}

That will be get attention more quickly and effectively than e-mail. — Jun. 27, '06 [11:12] <freak|talk>

[edit] Stan Reid

Thanks very much for the added info on Stan Reid, particularly about the court-martial, which I had certainly never heard about (and of course may have been hushed up in the family). Looking at the Boer War Nominal Roll, there is no mention of his court martial, although the nominal roll may not be the place to mention it. I will also follow up on your other suggestions. Thanks. --TheGrantley (talk) 03:46, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the information on the book mentioning him. I will definitely follow it up. --TheGrantley (talk) 00:44, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

I have found and removed the autoblock. If you are still blocked, please leave the autoblock ID that the message gives you (it should be a number like #839473). --B (talk) 04:48, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Just wanted to say that I'm sorry about that. Hopefully it wasn't too inconvenient. Khoikhoi 04:50, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

I just wanted to say how much I'm impressed by the work you have done on Reid. --TheGrantley (talk) 06:09, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The VFL during the World Wars‎

Hi, I added the other image you mentioned. I'm also going to try to dig up some information on some of the players who played in the WWI exhibition match (although how successful I will be is debatable). --Roisterer (talk) 11:53, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Charlie Moore images

I'm amazed at the information you have been able to dig up on Moore. Regarding the images you refer to, I think we would have to ask permission of whoever took the photos. It may well be easier to ask on the Australian Wikipedians talk board whether someone in Melbourne can take a photo of it. --Roisterer (talk) 11:55, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: the South African government images. I'm no expert but I think they would be copyrighted. I might ask about this in an Wikipedia image copyright forum. --Roisterer (talk) 11:46, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

Updated DYK query On 7 May 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Charlie Moore (Australian rules footballer), which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

[edit] Season infobox

Cheers. Do you think there is anything else that needs to be added to it? Crickettragic (talk) 07:35, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
