This host, static-71-172-254-114.nwrknj.fios.verizon.net (71.172.254.114), is registered to Suredeposit Inc and may be shared by many users of an enterprise network, so you might receive messages on this page that were not intended for you.

To have your own user pages, keep track of articles you've edited in a watchlist, and have access to a few other special features, please consider registering an account! It's fast and free.

If you are autoblocked repeatedly, contact your Internet service provider or network administrator and request it contact Wikimedia's XFF project about enabling X-Forwarded-For HTTP headers on its proxy servers so that blocks will affect only the intended user. Administrators: review contributions carefully if blocking this IP address or reverting its contributions. If a block is needed, consider a soft block using Template:Anonblock. In response to vandalism from this IP address, abuse reports may be sent to its network administrator for investigation.

Network administrators monitoring this IP address for vandalism can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions so far. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Here are some links to pages you may find useful:

You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but if you wish to acquire additional privileges, you can simply create a named account. It's free, requires no personal information, and lets you:

Create new pages and rename pages
Edit semi-protected pages
Upload images
Have your own watchlist, which shows when articles you are interested in have changed

If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (71.172.254.114) is used to identify you instead.

I hope that you, as a new Wikipedian, decide to continue contributing to our project: an encyclopedia of human knowledge that anyone can edit. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, or you can click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. We also have an intuitive guide on editing if you're interested. By the way, please make sure to sign and date your talk page comments with four tildes (~~~~).

Happy editing! LakesideMiners (talk) 13:40, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

RE:blocking

If you did not see the response on Destroyeraa's talk page, you have not been blocked from editing but the page has been semi-protected. This means that IP addresses and newly-registered accounts cannot edit it. It is a sort of blanket action, since most vandalism comes from IPs and new users. It does not mean that you did anything wrong. I don't think it was strictly necessary in this case, since the persistent vandalism was coming from a single IP, but it is only temporary. If you want to edit semi-protected pages, you will have to register and account and reach autoconfirmed status. While I can tell that you meant well in your actions, I would also recommend reviewing the page on vandalism for the proper procedures on how to respond to it.

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.
