[edit] Peddie School block

Netsnipe:

I am senior (4th year) at the Peddie School. On behalf of the Peddie community, I apologize for our continued vandalism. I have contacted the dean of students about this issue pointing out the several acts of vandalism and the 6 month ban.

I completely agree with a ban, but I disagree with your decision to ban us for 6 months. Peddie students are the Wikipedians of tomorrow. If Peddie is banned for 6 months, students will learn that Wikipedia is a non-editable website. How can students "be bold" in editing if they cannot edit?

Again, I'm sorry for the vandalism. If I could identify the student/students responsible, I could assure you that this would stop.

Thanks for your tireless contributions to wikipedia! -- Nburoojy 15:45, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

The block only prevent anonymous editing (and hopefully the casual vandal). Students can continue to edit Wikipedia provided they create an account for themselves at home first or by emailing us using their school email address if they don't have internet access at home. --  Netsnipe  ►  15:50, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
