Attention:

This IP address, 208.30.83.3, is registered to Steiner Corporation, 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.

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions.

Currently, you are editing without a username. You can continue to do so as you are not required to log in to Wikipedia to read and write articles, however, logging in will result in a username being shown instead of your IP address (yours is 208.30.83.3). Logging in does not require any personal details. There are many other benefits for logging in to Wikipedia. For now, if you are stuck, you can type {{helpme}} on this page and an experienced Wikipedian will be around to answer any questions you may have.

Please note these points:

  • Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
  • Please use a neutral point of view to edit the article; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
  • If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do that.
  • Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as: copyrighted texts, advertisement messages, and texts that are not related to that article. Both adding such unreasonable information and editing articles maliciously are considered vandalism. A user who repeatedly vandalises articles will be blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, ask me on my Talk page – I will answer your questions as far as I can! Thank you again for contributing to Wikipedia.

[edit] December 2005

Hi. Regarding the article Ouzo, I found through the Wikipedia manual of style's descriptions of headings that simpler, less specific headings were preferred. I won't revert your edit, but I just wanted you to know why I had made the change originally. Happy editing! - CobaltBlueTony 16:22, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] January 2006

I found that the edits you made to the Ouzo article did not belong there. If you would like to make an article about The Church of Ouzo, just ask me to create an article on it for you to write. Or you can create an account and make an article yourself. Have a Happy New Year.--Holocron 15:13, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] August 2006

Hello. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Otherwise, people might consider your edits to be vandalism. Thank you. — FireFox (talk) 13:11, 31 August 2006

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 Talk:Cincinnati, Ohio, are considered vandalism. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the hard work of others. Thanks. Peyna 21:43, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Per WP:TPG, please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~).

[edit] Warnings regarding addition of inappropriate external links

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in Jewish eschatology. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. Netkinetic(t/c/@) 18:39, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue spamming, as you did in Out-of-body experience, you will be blocked from editing. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. Netkinetic(t/c/@) 18:48, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added to the page New Age do not comply with our guidelines for external links. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Seed 2.0 19:18, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks. —— Eagle101 Need help? 19:23, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, as you did to Godhead (Christianity), you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted as well, preventing anyone from linking to them from any site that uses the MediaWiki spam blacklist, which includes all of Wikimedia and Wikipedia.

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, please ignore this notice

[edit] False warning

Hey. This is a shared IP address, so the warnings were meant for the person who edited from this IP before you. In fact, the last editor caused this IP address to be blocked for 31 hours due to persistent spamming. You can ignore the warnings that do not concern you. Happy editing. Thanks, Prolog 21:56, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Church of Ouzo

Sir, please allow me to be frank: I care not one jot what you resent. You are, to say the least, misinformed as to the role and importance of discussion pages. You say "Discussion sections are not designed to improve an article, for you can do that directly, but rather to offer additional insight." Wrong, sir, wrong. If you would, please, read the message on the talk header: This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Antinomianism article. This is not a forum for general discussion about the article's subject. As far as I am concerned, this ends our conversation. I have no interest in discussing this matter with you any further. ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 20:01, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
