And the point of that is? 68.39.174.238 02:50, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That people keep wondering which ISP allows IPs to remain static for years? Flyingtoaster1337 08:28, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comcaſt gives some degree of statisticity[sic] by mapping IPs to MAC addrs. Hence, by keeping the same MAC addr facing their DHCP svrs, I've been steadily assigned this IP addr for about 2 years. Prior to that I'd had some different routers with different IPs. Some of my contributions can be seen to articels like New City Village (Which are totall newbies). 68.39.174.238 22:19, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I see nothing wrong with removing this box. The user that added it used an edit summary of ":P", and it is redundant to the whois links on the bottom. Regards, Tuxide 04:20, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It's not annoying, it just didn't immediately make sense. 68.39.174.238 07:10, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They are NOT intended, nor should they be used, for any research or serious use.

Your neighbors have been blocked in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating policy against letting off fireworks and munitions in celebration of the Gregorian New Year against the peace of this State, the government and dignity of the same. To contest this block, please move to another State and let them deal with you or email the blocking administrator or any administrator from this list.

Note to sysops: Shooting off fireworks where it's illegal should almost never be done. If you disagree, contact your system's administrators.
Note: In the event of persistent disregard for the law, like your neighbors displayed this year, AGAIN, the local authorities should do something, but are almost certain to not do so, unless their fireworks do something like start a fire.

Hi 68.39.174.238. Unfortunately, your talk page is too long and some browsers may have difficulty rendering it. I suggest a user will archive this page for you. Thank you. Meteoroid 03:33, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there. I'm awesome.

From what I have skimmed, people are asking you to get an account. Because I feel like it, I am asking that you never register. I love you. Chris Griswold (☎☓) 07:11, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dear sir. I have gone to a lot of trouble helping a school who happen to like Wikipedia for references [I don't know why]. I have written and edited some articles for their website and used Wikipedia as a link for them. You claim. They are blatant copyright violations. Not so,belongs to them and me. That you claim to own the copyright to the material implies that you are associated with the institute, which is a clear conflict of interest. No more than I am associated with you. I have done this with my own free time but your objections are noted and since you are the one with a lot of free time trawling websites looking for articles to edit, then maybe you should do it for them. Yours disgusted.

Get an account!

Please get an account! Call it something like 6839.174comcast for example, that way you'll be able to do all the things you can't do as anon, which include:

  • File uploads
  • Move pages to new names (and revert pagemove vandalism, the scourge of Wikipedia...)
  • Participate in Requests for adminship, and articles for deletion

Go ahead, do it soon!! you'll miss out... --sunstar nettalk 15:12, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Blocking discussion

You may want to comment on this thread on WP:AN where someone has proposed to have you blocked. Even community-banned and Arbcom-banned users get notified of discussions on whether they should be blocked, so I think not doing the same for you would be a tad discourteous. ;) Awyong J. M.

This has to be the first time it has ever been suggested someone be blocked to force them to register so they can be nominated for an adminship. Congratulations?--Isotope23 18:52, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The weather in London has been deleted 71 times and now cannot be recreated (see Wikipedia:Protected titles/Deliberate redlinks).

The problem for IPs to become administrators is that IPs change periodically and admin privileges may not transfer from the old IP to the new IP. So it is not possible for you to become a "sysop anon". This is why you must create an account to correct this problem. 68.111.92.229 02:40, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

what Ou-dis-sun means in By the Waters of Babylon

So that's what Ou-dis-sun means. IMO, however, these links are interpretion that doesn't really belong in the plot summary. It would, of course, be appropriate to explain the words you linked in the Analysis section. --Jtir 19:42, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The contradiction was that the Democratic and the Republican candidate was listed with exactly the same number of votes. I had some free time now (which I didn't at the time), so I got the right vote numbers and fixed it. Railwayman 21:02, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This edit is OK, but I think it would be a lot better if you could work it into the "Other later works" section, with a brief description, especially since I don't think we have any other engravings prominently discussed. Cheers! Mdotley 01:08, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your work on Industry and Idleness. I add stub sections for the remaining prints; I hope that helps a little.

And don't feel like you have to make an account! It forces people to respect IP edits!

Okay, you discussed a lot of things that I thought about when writing the fair-use rational, but I didn't want go too into depth about it, but there is certainly further discussion that can be had. In the article I mention that there is an apology saying basically "sorry our radiation detectors don't work because of the earthquake," so needless to say, that part should stay, as it's relevant content for the point that is being made. The left navigation is not 100% needed, but I also provide a link directly to the site itself right under the image. Anyway, I find that useful to be able to say:
  • Here is the screen shot during the earthquake, let's go look at what it says now
  • Oh, it gives radiation readings
Their site, however, is absolutely chock-full of cartoons explaining all about how radiation works and what not, very pretty, which is exactly what we must be sure to avoid. I'm sure they paid someone a lot of money to make those. So in terms of revisions to the image, we could
Oh, another thing I forgot to ask: In order to give my permission for deleting something, can I just say that I give permission or do I have to go searching for some appropriate template? And regarding your last comments on the image, that's fine if you remove the left part, it's not a big deal. The point is that this is just one of many mistakes by the utility that added to the public's fears regarding the incident, nor did it help their credibility when asserting that there was no danger. Yes, one is still out, but you only need one in the fist place to answer the question "is there discernible radiation release from the plant?" I know this image doesn't contain much in terms of promotional artwork, I just meant to say that I was highly tempted to use some others ^^ -Theanphibian (talk • contribs) 18:35, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Communism Vandal

I know this is likely an old topic stuffed in the back of your mind, but you may wish to take a look at these edits by Aqui venho de novo (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), a sockpuppet of Encyclopedist (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) (a former user in good standing turned vandal/troll) and if necessary, update your Newgatery page.

I'm also royally annoyed that the LTA subpages got deleted after I'd spent a huge amount of time standarizing and fixing them. (I didn't, don't worry ;) ). 68.39.174.238 02:50, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome

Hello! I've noticed that you have edited Wikipedia without logging in to an account. I'm happy that you've been contributing. However, I urge you to create an account. Here is a list of the benefits of having an account:

There are no cons to signing up for an account. In fact, there are more pros here! Signing up is completely free and you don't need to enter any personal information! Plus you can have a user page like mine! So, unless you can think of a con, sign up for an account right now! Wtfdontkill (talk) 03:15, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

linkfarm

Hello 68.39.174.238 and thank you for removing the linkfarm on Portuguese language. However, I believe that you removed some relevant links along the others, such as the Camões Institute, the Portuguese language museum in Brazil, etc. Later I'll review the deleted links and restore a few I believe comply with WP:EL, if that's okay. Best regards, Húsönd 17:29, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the barnstar, 68.39.174.238. :-) Best regards, Húsönd 00:21, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WRT "if I knew how [to upload on Commons]"

You just left me a nice helpful note, but I am not sure it was to me! It said:

"If someone hasn't already told you or you've found out:

Go to Commons (<http://commons.wikimedia.org/>) or just go straight to the upload page (<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload>) and upload it. Also note that you need a username there and they ONLY take PD/"Free" stuff. 68.39.174.238 03:58, 3 December 2007 (UTC)"

Can you tell me where I asked for this information and how long ago? Sorry to bother you, I just hope you weren't trying to help someone else! Thanks though! Saudade7 04:04, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OH! Wow, that was so long ago, I'd forgotten. I will do that eventually...It is 5am here and I should go to bed! Thanks! Saudade7 04:11, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your identity

Please, could you consider creating a user page only with the {{User committed identity}} template, or of course place it on your talk page for the simple reason that when you finally do lose your IP, someone in the Comcast network may pick it up, impersonate you, gain privileges and potentially harm the project. I believe this is a real possibility. aliasd·U·T 23:11, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was talking about privileges associated with your reputation. If the community was convinced you had finally picked up an account, there would be much blind support for you being an admin. Since you seem totally disinterested in the whole thing, I personally would suspect anyone with your ip that tried to do this would be unlikely to be you, this template or a simple hash could alleviate those fears if you decide to get involved in that sort of thing, or catch out a culprit that manages to steal your IP. If you ever want to associate this IP with an account, say in 5 years time or something, you could disclose the string which unlocks the hash. aliasd·U·T 04:42, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
With utmost respect, I don't think you understand me. I am saying if an impersonator got your IP, they may be able to fairly trivially socially engineer admin powers from the community. This template would prevent this ever happening. aliasd·U·T 05:44, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

December 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Peak oil, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted by ClueBot. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you believe there has been a mistake and would like to report a false positive, please report it here and then remove this warning from your talk page. If your edit was not vandalism, please feel free to make your edit again after reporting it. The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Peak oil was changed by 68.39.174.238 (c) (t) deleting 8521 characters on 2007-12-06T05:52:43+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot (talk) 05:53, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I fixed the article (obviously your edits were excellent), but will leave it to you whether or not ClueBot needs to know about it. I wonder if there is a way for your edits to be automatically excluded by ClueBot? Risker (talk) 05:59, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No problems, glad to vindicate you! It took everything I had not to write an edit summary saying "Stupid ClueBot, that's 68.39.174.238!!!" Risker (talk) 06:03, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Iran-Iraq War. Your edits have been automatically marked as unconstructive/possible vandalism and have been automatically reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you believe there has been a mistake and would like to report a false positive, please report it here and then remove this warning from your talk page. If your edit was not vandalism, please feel free to make your edit again after reporting it.

ClueBot (talk) 06:20, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed again, but am going offline now. I just hope I don't get someone jumping on me for that one, it looked very good and I spotchecked them before reverting ClueBot, but there's just something about Middle East articles that gives me the editing willies. I have no idea why I have your page watchlisted (maybe so I could remember when Cluebot is acting silly?), but hope this was helpful tonight. Risker (talk) 06:29, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Your recent edit to Hadith (diff) was reverted by an automated bot. The edit was identified as adding either test edits, vandalism, or link spam to the page or having an inappropriate edit summary. If you want to experiment, please use the preview button while editing or consider using the sandbox. If this revert was in error, please contact the bot operator. If you made an edit that removed a large amount of content, try doing smaller edits instead. Thanks! // VoABot II (talk) 03:28, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Response

Sorry about that. Because of the amount of vandalism, I've gotten into the bad habit of not checking what the bot does before I revert the people that it reverts. Especially, usually when an anon edits someone's user page, it's usually bad. I am sorry for the inconvenience that you are having in trying to remove spam, but this will probably happen while you don't have an account and when you are trying to move so many things.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Algaculture. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --  LAX  01:31, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No offense, but you seem to be a controversial editor. You have over 20,000 edits as an IP, you're very respected by other users, and you, on occasion, receive vandalism warnings. Your edit (to me) appeared to be vandalism. Next time make it a little more simpler so that it does not appear to be vandalism. Cheers, LAX 01:43, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You're right, I'm sorry. I guess I should have looked at the edit more thoroughly and been a little more cautious. Cheers, LAX 01:52, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Even though you don't have a signature, thanks for signing my autograph book. Cheers, LAX 02:19, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I really wish you would uninvolve yourself in the Super 8mm page, You have wreaked havoc by deleting worthwhile super-8 links, including a couple of mine, but also well over a a dozen of useful links. If you don't know about super-8, leave the page alone, please.
