Exercise extreme caution in blocking this IP address. As of 23 December 2006, T-mobile uses this IP for over ([https://selfcare.hotspot.t-mobile.com/locations/viewLocationMap.do 8,000 locations]. Each location has approximately 30 NAT IPs assigned to it. That potentially effects an estimated 240,000 possible nodes. When considering blocking, It is not your average IP. It is not an open WiFi network either, but instead [http://hotspot.t-mobile.com/ t-mobile] collects personal identify information from every customer. Therefore serious abuse can be reported and traced through the ISP. When blocking be sure to provide diffs on this page to support the block and identify specific edits among a sea of different anonymous editors on this IP. This IP may even serve as the primary ISP IP for many editors. |
||
Also try to be aware of Autoblocks that include this IP address. An autoblock on this IP address can easily effect many other editors. This makes it especially important to avoid frivolous blocks — known as [[User:MONGO|MONGO blocks]]. If a block of a user block is necessary — and such a block therefore results in an autoblock of this IP address — we advise administrators to wait some time (miniutes or hours) and then lift the autoblock before the usual 24 hour period expires. |

IP users (without an account): If you do not have an account and wish to bypass this block, an account can be created to allow you to edit. In general, these blocks only prevent users who are not logged in from editing; once you are logged in, the block will no longer affect you in any way. To request an account, simply click here and follow the directions provided on the page. It is important that you use an e-mail address issued to you by your ISP, school, or organisation, so we may verify that you are a legitimate user. When filling out the account request form, please refer to this block in the "comments" input field. If you've been instructed to request an account via email, please refer to this block in your message.
Registered users (with an account): Please make sure you are logged in to your account. If you are unable to edit while logged in, you may request IP block exemption to bypass blocks unconnected with you that affect your editing. Post an unblock request to your user talk page.Administrators: Checkusers have access to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy. You must not loosen or remove this block, or issue an IP block exemption, without consulting a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee.
