School IP address Attention:

This IP address, 216.229.238.57, 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.

[edit] February 2008

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to François Fillon. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Korg (talk) 01:33, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

[edit] April 2008

Please do not leave edit summaries relying on your alleged status as a "Historian at Harvard University" to justify the edit. Quite how you can be a "Historian at Harvard University" whilst editing from a Southern Adventist University IP is something that raises an eyebrow too. But never mind, since Wikipedia relies on sources, not status. If you have sources for any of the information you have added, then please feel free to add your information with sources. You may care to read Wikipedia's position on verifiability, no original research and reliable sources, Regards, BencherliteTalk 00:55, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
