User talk:24.114.71.24

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Someone using this IP address, 24.114.71.24, has made unconstructive edits, which have been reverted. If you did this, in the future please try to contribute in a more constructive manner. If you'd like to experiment with the syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles. If you did not do this, you may wish to consider getting a username to avoid confusion with other editors.

You don't have to log in to read or edit pages on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free, requires no personal information, and has many benefits. Without a username, your IP address is used to identify you.

Some good links for newcomers are:

Help contents – the main help page.
Quick guide – a "cheatsheet" listing the main editing commands.

Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and a timestamp. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Again, welcome! —C.Fred (talk) 22:03, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked means blocked

If a user is blocked, that means that person may not edit Wikipedia. That means they may not keep making the same edits while not logged in.

It's clear that this IP is being used by a blocked user to evade their block. By rights, the IP could already be blocked. I'm not going to block it yet, but one more abusive edit (like the tied arch bridge one) will result in this IP being blocked. —C.Fred (talk) 22:04, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Anonymous users from this IP address have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours for abuse of editing privileges. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. —C.Fred (talk) 02:23, 30 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address and you are an uninvolved editor with a registered account, you may continue to edit by logging in.

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
