User talk:129.33.49.252

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome, IBM Wikipedian!

This IP address is an Internet gateway for IBM. If you've been directed to this page by a vandalism warning, it is not because you are personally engaging in vandalism. It's just because you're trying to make an update from inside IBM, and you're not logged into Wikipedia. Unfortunately, a few people here make mistakes or deliberate mischief in editing Wikipedia, and the only way for Wikipedia to block one mischievous person here is to block us all.

If you already have a Wikipedia account, all you need to do is log in and then you can make the update you want.

If you don't have a Wikipedia account, you'll need to create one before you can make any updates from within IBM.

Attention:

This IP address, 129.33.49.252, is registered to IBM, and may be shared by multiple users. If the organization uses proxy servers or firewalls, 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 may be 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; if so, please see here.

If you are autoblocked repeatedly, we encourage you to contact your Internet service provider or IT department and ask them to contact Wikimedia's XFF project about enabling X-Forwarded-For HTTP headers on their proxy servers so that our editing blocks will affect only the intended user. Alternatively, you can list the IP at Wikipedia:WikiProject on XFFs.

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

Note: In the event of vandalism from this address, abuse reports may be sent to your network administrator for further investigation.
IT 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.
