Attention:
This IP address, 71.142.64.177, is part of a pool of dynamically allocated addresses and is registered to the following organization AT&T Internet Services. Applying an indefinite block to this IP is not appropriate, unless it is a soft block, because the IP address will later be reallocated to a different, unrelated, and unsuspecting user, thereby impairing access to Wikipedia in an inappropriate fashion. Comments left on this page may be received by other users of this IP and appear to be irrelevant. Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking. In the event of vandalism from this address, efforts can be made to contact AT&T Internet Services to report abuse.
The best approach is to determine the CIDR IP numerical address range and make a higher-level decision to soft-block the entire range. http://www.arin.net/ (for approximately North America) and related sites can help to identify that range. Caution is advised when applying a range block as other Wikipedians, both registered and otherwise, may be affected.
If you are an unregistered user operating from this address, note that this need not necessarily be the IP address of your machine. If you are frustrated by irrelevant comments appearing here, you can avoid them by creating an account for yourself.
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.

- To reviewing admin: its worth noting this IP also edited the article under their account User:Boomgaylove. The main issue with the edits are WP:BLP concerns, though WP:3RR would clearly apply too. Gwernol 20:31, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
what 3rr? i need some diffs yo, i gotta see em. i gotta learn da ways. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.142.64.177 (talk • contribs)
- Just look at the history of The hizzle (disambiguation). Between your Boomgaylove account and this IP you reverted at least 8 times today, which rather exceed WP:3RR. Gwernol 20:39, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
i didnt do it all myself. other people use this computer and i aked them to edit for me.
| This is the discussion page for an anonymous user, identified by the user's numerical IP address. Some IP addresses change periodically, and may be shared by several users. If you are an anonymous user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other anonymous users. Registering also hides your IP address.
