School IP address Attention:

This IP address, 216.229.227.143, is registered to Southern Adventist 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.
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.

Thank you, sir, for updating the stats on the USS Ronald Reagan page. God Bless you, and thank you for your service. Please consider contributing to Wikipedia further by creating an account. Thank you so much. Best, Happyme22 (talk) 01:16, 27 February 2008 (UTC))

I'm sorry for the mistake then. The only way you can avoid confusion is by creating an account, as HappyMe suggested. If you still feel you don't, you should be aware that you may find yourself unable to edit in the future due to persistent vandalism by other university users. We try to avoid it, but if there are persistent vandals it may be necessary. From what I can tell, this is a library computer, if so, you may want to report the problems to the library authorities and ask them to consider monitoring usage from IPs they are responsible for and taking action against people who misuse library computers Nil Einne (talk) 02:01, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
As Nil Einne said, I would recommened creating your own account, even if you are not on frequently. The accounts will never go away. Happyme22 (talk) 02:09, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
