School IP address Attention:

This IP address, 164.107.223.217, is registered to Ohio State University 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.

[edit] List of controversial games

Hi, following wikipedia guidelines I invite you to the talk page so we can discuss this rather than simply reverting, I think this one is only going to be decided through dialogue. Mallocks 21:13, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Okay. --164.107.223.217 21:23, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
Come again? The change to Parma was a legitimate edit to clarify a point, not vandalism?! Best, --164.107.223.217 03:29, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about that.Crispus 04:35, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

No problem. Take care! --164.107.223.217 06:03, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding edits to Pumpkin queen

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, 164.107.223.217! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule cgi\.ebay\.com, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's external links policy for more information. If the link was to an image, please read Wikipedia's image tutorial on how to use a more appropriate method to insert the image into an article. If your link was intended to promote a site you own, are affiliated with, or will make money from inclusion in Wikipedia, please note that inserting spam into Wikipedia is against policy. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! Shadowbot 05:40, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello, the link is intended as a reference only and not an ad, as the item has already been bought anyway. Best, --164.107.223.217 05:42, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unblock Request (collateral damage)

This was autoblocked, so whoever used the other template had it wrong. But I agree with the argument and request: "University IP used by unknown number of multiple users; seems to be result of a registered user who logged on at the university getting blocked, so not fair for the rest of us who are not involved with whatever dispute. Please help! Thanks!," "I don't think you can sign in on an IP that is blocked, so this IS affecting other registered users. Registered users unable to sign on IP blocked temporarily for some other user; IP is of a university with nearly 60,000 students; please don't allow one or so people to ruin things for the rest of us. Thanks!", "The other students may have used the wrong unblock request, so, I think the one below may be more accurate." It seems that a number of us are being negatively affected because of someone else and for some reason new account creation by users other than whoever was blocked is being prevented. Please don't let one bad apple ruin it for the rest of us. Thanks! Sincerely, the many users of --164.107.223.217 20:58, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Come again? I added factual and cited material and then I reverted an error that I made?! --164.107.223.217 16:20, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
  • You might want to reconsider voting "Keep" blindly on everything just because you don't like articles to be deleted. That is disruptive. JuJube 23:28, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
I don't vote blindly. I provide reasons for each article I vote to keep and nor do I vote for every single article I see nominated. Besides, those who nominate others' work for deletion just because these deletionists don't like articles that others spent time on and enjoy reading is far more disruptive.
I believe in fairness and compromises, so if I find one that I agree should be deleted, I promise that I will vote as such, but if I have a reason to keep, why not share it? Should I comment that you mostly vote to delete articles based on your recent history as evidence of something? If you notice, most of my edits are grammatical in nature, correcting typos and such. I do NOT just go to article for deletion discussions and run down the lists or something. I also should note that I'm currently using a university IP and so not all of the edits in the IPs history will be mine. If you would like, I'll voluntarily hold off from articles for deletion, but if you disagree with my side of things, then shouldn't we just discuss where we disagree? Enjoy The Sopranos tonight! Hopefully the episode will be good! :) --164.107.223.217 00:07, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
I smell a duck. It may be just me. Whatever the admins decide to do, action or no action, is fine; my involvement is over after the WP:AN/I report. It's possible you're just voting your conscience, but I'm suspicious by nature. If your intentions are good, then okay, happy editing, I'm just being careful. JuJube 00:36, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
For what it's worth, I'm taking a break from Wikipedia and because I'm using a university IP, any edits on the next few hours or so are NOT from me the one who used the IP on the votes and I don't know if I'll happen to be on this particular IP again. So, I'm just letting you know that if you don't hear anything further from me and notice radically unrelated edits from this IP, that's why. So, good night and I hope that your notice thing does not hurt other editors who are not part of our disagreement on some votes. I might encourage you to take note of this fact. Sincerely, one of the many users of --164.107.223.217 00:42, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please consider creating an account

I saw your recent comment to a WP:AFD discussion, and it was well thought out. There's an unofficial rule of thumb that comments by anonymous users, such as you, are discouraged at deletion discussions and don't carry the same weight as comments by experienced users. Among other things, that prevents a miscreant from voting twice using his account and his IP address (though we usually catch these things anyway).

There are other benefits to creating an account: you can move pages (i.e. change the title); create a watchlist (you can monitor changes to selected articles); and create a userpage. You have been an active and helpful contributor so far, so I recommend that you take the next step. Best regards. YechielMan 10:03, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi! This IP is a university IP and so other users might not understand the comment. Anyway, thank you for the constructive suggestions, but shouldn't this comment be on the talk page? If I'm mistaken, okay, but I just though that comments are for the talk page. Anyway, thanks again for the kind and conconstructive feedback. Sincerely, one of the many users of --164.107.223.217 00:17, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
