User talk:66.203.17.40

Attention:

This IP address, 66.203.17.40, is registered to Miami Valley Educational Computer Association in Yellow Springs, Ohio and may be shared by multiple users of an educational institution. In the case of institutions using proxy servers, 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 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, in which case please see here.

Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking - if a block is needed, administrators should consider a soft block with the template {{schoolblock|optional comment}} as the block reason.

Note: In the event of persistent vandalism, anonymous editing from this IP address may be disabled for up to 6 months at a time while abuse reports may be forwarded to your school administration for investigation in case of long-term abuse by registered users.

This IP has been repeatedly blocked from editing Wikipedia in response to abuse of editing privileges. Further abuse from this IP may result in an immediate block without further warning.

13 November 2024 Warning

Your recent edits are considered vandalism, they have been reverted and you are being warned to stop this behavior now. Such actions are not tolerated on Wikipedia, and are not taken lightly.

Your edits to Chihuahua (dog)

This is the only warning you will receive.
Your recent vandalism will not be tolerated. Although vandalizing articles on occasions that are days or weeks apart from each other sometimes prevents editors from being blocked, your continued vandalism constitutes a long term pattern of abuse. The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --Joe Sewell 17:34, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Umm...

Just so you all know, this is a school computer going through a blocking proxy that serves just about every school in many states, so blocking won't help in this case. Even worse, those of us like me, can't log in because its blocked.

I could be mistaken, but I think if you create an account and log in, then you will not be blocked from editing when the anonymous IP is blocked. - Davandron | Talk 15:40, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A slight clarification: there are apparently at least two types of blocks, one in which the IP address is blocked from all edits (including signed in users) and one in which only anonymous edits are blocked. Hopefully vandelism is being performed by anonymous users and the block can be limited to them. SeeWikipedia:Blocking_policy#Options for IP blocks. - Davandron | Talk 15:46, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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, such as those you made to Washington Irving, are considered vandalism. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning.

Blocked again for vandalism

You have been blocked from editing Wikipedia for repeated vandalism. If or when the block expires, feel free to come back, but please make useful contributions instead, and refrain from vandalising or this account will face longer blocks, and action could be taken against the individual who uses it.

Blocked

If you wish to contribute to this encyclopedia, please create an account at home and log in with it here.

Due to persistent vandalism (see edit log), editing by anonymous users from your school, library or institution's IP address may be currently disabled. If you are logged in but still unable to edit, please follow these instructions. To prevent abuse, account creation via this address is probably also disabled.

If accounts need to be created at school for class projects, please have your teacher or network administrator contact us (with reference to this IP address) at unblock-en-l from an email address listed on your school's website. Alternatively, if you have no Internet access at home, you may email us using your school-issued email address with your preferred username and an account will be created for you. Please ensure that any username you choose is not listed as taken here.

Thank you. — { Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
