School IP address Attention:

This IP address, 128.255.200.112, is registered to University of Iowa and may be shared by multiple users of an educational institution. If the institution uses 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. Similarly an innocent user may be blocked for another user's vandalism. 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; if so, please read our advice on this situation.

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 from this IP address, anonymous editing may be disabled for up to 1 year at a time. Abuse reports may also be forwarded to your school administration for investigation.
School staff who want to monitor vandalism from this IP address can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.

OK, I fixed it, and made it even better for you. Dfrg.msc 06:47, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
In response to you comment on my talk page; It is possible, since it is a school/university, that the IPs aren't unique. This means that multiple people can use the same IP address over the web, which could lead to people vandalising. On a side note, if you feel like you would like to contribute to Wikipedia and not have to deal with vandal incrimination, feel free to WP:REGISTER your own username. Cheers!
