It doesn't bother me that you blocked this IP address. I work for a big company, I know that I share this IP (and ...43) with a lot of other people. I have a username I can log in with.
BUT HERE'S THE THING: I tried to make a minor edit-- in the SANDBOX no less-- while not logged in, and I received the message "Your account or IP address has been blocked from editing. You were blocked by Eagle 101 for the following reason (see our blocking policy): spamming\ Your IP address is 163.192.21.44."
OK, I've been blocked. No big. So I go to check out what changes my IP address has made that got us blocked...
Only I can't. There is no way to check it. Here's the path I had to take to get here:
Wander around looking for a way to accomplish this. Not having any luck.
Sorry this was so difficult for you. For future reference even as an IP, once you're on your talk page (which can be far too difficult to get to) you can get to the user history from the "user contributions" link in the toolbox to the left just under the search box. I know that isn't the main point of your post, just thought it might be useful information for the future. -- Siobhan Hansa22:25, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for experimenting with the page Bozo the Clown on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. V60VTalk · VDemolitions03:19, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to WGN-TV. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you.
Please stop assuming ownership of articles such as WGN-TV. Doing so may lead to disruptive behavior such as edit wars and is a violation of policy, which may lead to a block from editing.
The next time this article is changed back to a grammatically-incorrect version, I will seek administrator assistance. I don't care about where, or to whom, this IP address belongs. Rollosmokes08:20, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder what your boss at the Tribune thinks about you vandalizing Wikipedia articles on company time? If you vandalize again, like you did to Steve Dahl, we're going to find out. The Parsnip!18:01, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
