User talk:84.45.219.185

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page has been temporarily protected from editing to prevent this blocked user from causing disruption.

 This page is currently protected from editing to prevent 84.45.219.185 (talk • contribs • block logauto) from using it to make disruptive edits or continuing to abuse the {{unblock}} template.
If you have come here to issue a new message to this user, it means the block has expired. Please unprotect the page, ask an administrator to do so, or request unprotection here.

Attention:

This IP address, 84.45.219.185 (host: 84-45-219-185.no-dns-yet.enta.net), is part of a pool of dynamically allocated addresses and is registered to the following organization Enta. 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 Enta 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.

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

OK, let's hope nothing untoward comes from this. Easy enough to turn it back off again if the vandalism resumes.

RfA comments

Unfortunately, IPs (i.e. anyone without an account, and logged-out users) are not allowed to comment in RfAs to prevent sockpuppet votestacking. I indented your comments [1], [2], [3].

Thanks! Very much appreciated. :) Sarah 10:15, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey, did you want that article that was in your userspace deleted? Or moved into the mainspace? Another admin deleted it while I was looking at it...but I wasn't sure if that was what you actually wanted or not. Sarah 11:21, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Blocked again

Well, I said "let's see what happens". The result: more vandalism. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 14:03, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

CheckUser evidence has determined that this IP address (or network) has been used abusively.
This address (or network) has been blocked temporarily or permanently to prevent further abuse.

In extreme cases, an entire network may be blocked to prevent an abusive user from continually changing their IP address in order to evade blocks or abusing multiple accounts. If you are a registered user and are seeing this message, please follow these instructions.

Administrators: CheckUsers are privy to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy, and therefore must be consulted before this block can be removed.

This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | rangeblocks | unblock | contribs | deleted contribs) has asked to be unblocked, but an administrator has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock request while you are blocked.

Request reason: "Hi there, there won't be any more vandalism. Not now all users have to create a login to use all public terminals: previously they were just "user" logins with no password. These are public terminals. Apologies for the vandalism. Hopefully the problem can be stopped. Any problems just email stevemarshlpl@myway.com and he can deal with the users. Note, please redact the email once you've contacted him."

Decline reason: "Sorry, but no. This account has just been given a final chance and the result was vandalism, as confirmed by our checkuser. As for the email address you've given us for reporting abuse, I don't know who Steve is, but the real address for reporting abuse from this IP is abuse@enta.net and I won't accept a disposable email address in its place. — Sarah 11:59, 28 August 2007 (UTC)"

Please make any further unblock requests by using the {{unblock}} template. However, abuse of the template may result in your talk page being protected.

Request reason: "Can we have the right to vanish as an IP address??"

Decline reason: "Please explain what you mean. I won't delete this talk page because we need a record of warnings, blocks, last chances etc. Right to vanish generally only applies to people with accounts. I don't know what we can "vanish" for an IP, but if you have something in mind, please note it below. There's no need to use a unblock template each time, because I see your talk page on my watchlist each time you edit it. Thanks, — Sarah 14:16, 28 August 2007 (UTC)"

The right to vanish mentioned is archiving the talk page. Anyway, an IP address isn't an account, strictly speaking. Apologies for the vandalism: the IP shouldn't be blocked indefinitely, per the blocking policy (which says IPs should never be blocked indefinitely, except open proxies. It's not an open proxy, anyway, as some people think it is - but a public terminal. Sorry about this. --84.45.219.185 08:38, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

  • I can't edit anyway - the account I want to create is User:Moorstone - the same username I've got on testwikipedia as testwiki:User:Moorstone, but the IP here is locked from allowing me to make the account. (an IP address isn't account, technically..) I politely request that an admin create an account for me with this username since I can't create it. Anyway, I made some good anonymous edits which were not vandalism until the block. can someone take it up with the checkuser who blocked me? testwiki:User:Moorstone --84.45.219.185 09:06, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Update

As of today this IP address has an open port 80 and is being used for cross-wiki vandalism. Thatcher 13:32, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
