[edit] helpme

I am a innocent user, but being blocked due to "Squidward vandalism from this IP range" by Curps. Can anyone help me, please?Ray 08:23, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

I guess you could email Curps, but I'll message him for you.--Commander Keane 08:15, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Make sure you put your IP on this page.--Commander Keane 08:15, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your help. My IP address is 203.186.238.139, and I have sent a e-mail to Curps a few minutes ago.Ray 08:18, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
OK I let Curps know too. There's no need to use {{helpme}}, hopefully the probelm will be sorted out soon.--Commander Keane 08:21, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Really thanks!! I hope I can contribute again as soon as possible. :) Ray 08:23, 16 February 2006 (UTC)


We had massive "Squidward" vandalism yesterday. All of it took place within a ten-minute span, however the same vandal struck three times earlier the previous day.

The vandal used a few hundred IPs, mostly open proxies all over the world, but a significant number of the IPs used came from the IP range 203.186.238.128/25 (from 203.186.238.128 to 203.186.238.255). The vandal made about a thousand edits in all, although most of these came from open proxies and it seems that each address in 203.186.238.128/25 was used only once:

Click on "contribs" above and you'll see what happened.

Can you please contact your ISP and ask them to look into this, and identify the person responsible? Does your ISP use open proxies?

I don't think we can afford to unblock this range yet... it's very important for your ISP to take a look and find a way to prevent this from happening again. If they use open proxies, then this is a serious problem.

I will contact User:David Gerard, perhaps he could get in touch with your ISP and try to resolve the situation. -- Curps 08:40, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Well, man, I know very little about how does an ISP work and proxies. Also, it is quite ridiculous for a small user like me to urge my ISP to investigate who do this and that in my region... I understand it is impossible for you to unblock the IPs at this moment, but can you tell me how long I have to wait, or I have to wait until this vandal is forgotten? :( Ray 08:51, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
I've contacted User:David Gerard (perhaps you can e-mail him), asking him to look into it and make the decision on when to unblock. See User_talk:David_Gerard#Yesterday.27s_massive_Squidward_vandalism_and_203.186.238.128.2F25_range_block. -- Curps 09:08, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
I hope the problem can be solved soon. Ray 10:49, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Can anyone tell me the progress now? Although Mr David is notified on his user talk page, it seems that there is nobody looking into the matter, no replies on that topic at all. Is my case ignored? I have been banned for 3 days now, a bit disappointed. :( Ray Leung 16:24, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

What did your ISP say about the IP range that was vandalising?--Commander Keane 16:47, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
After discussion with DavidGerard I have unblocked 203.186.238.139. So you should be able to edit now. It would still be cool if you could ask your ISP about those IP address though.--Commander Keane 22:47, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
Uh, .139 was never individually blocked (see list above); rather, it's blocked because it's affected by the 203.186.238.128/25 range block. So he still can't edit. I've reset the range block to expire 40 hours from now, I wouldn't object to it being removed sooner if someone got in touch with the ISP. -- Curps 22:57, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
Crap. My mistake. Thanks curps.--Commander Keane 23:00, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks all. I am able to edit right now. (Just add more to the article amine. ^___^) Ray Leung 19:09, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Venue suggestion needed for a meet-up in Yuen Long

Dear: Rayleung2709 ：

In the past meet-ups, we always had our meeting in the centre of Kowloon, either Kowloon Tong or Mong Kok. However, apart from these places, I am sure that alternative venues in other region would be suitable.


This is the time for your suggestion! According to some discussion on Chinese Wikipedia, from August of 2007, the Hong Kong Wikimedians’ meet-up would be held in all districts of Hong Kong in a circulation basis.


Here is the tentative information of the first meet-up：

Date：11, August, 2007 (Saturday)
Time：After 5:00pm
Proposed region：Yuen Long


The community would request for ideas of where we should hold the meet-up , in order to have a better decision. If you have any good ideas, don’t hesitate to give your opinions, million thanks!


Regards,

Hong Kong Wikimedian
