Hi!

This is my talk page. Please leave messages for me here. I will respond here unless specifically requested otherwise. 'nuff said. :)

Thanks for uploading Image:SAWaste Logo.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. --FairuseBot (talk) 01:55, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Updated the infobox with all the fields, as well as explained the use of the logo on the SA Waste Holdings (Pty) Ltd article. I hope this is satisfactory.

References

Hi, you recently added an unreferenced tag to Harry Howard (footballer). Agreed, it doesn't have inline citations, but it does have a References section containing two book sources, each with relevant page number, which I'd have thought was pretty adequate for a four-line stub and infobox. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 14:54, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies :( I see now that there are references. I probably should have used a different template. I'll remove the tag anyway. GrahamDo (talk) 14:56, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked due to open proxy

I received a notification today (And it's not the first time) that I have been blocked from editing because of the meta:No open proxies rule. The last time this happened, I contacted User:DerHexer about it, and his response to me was that port 80 was open on my IP address. He ignored my attempts to explain why. So I'm explaining why here:

  • I use an ADSL connection with a dynamic IP address
  • I have a home network, with two PCs on a LAN connecting through a Windows Server 2003 machine with Internet Connection Sharing enabled
  • I run a website http://www.communicate.za.net/ from that machine (And use a Dynamic DNS-type service to update my DNS server (http://www.everydns.net/) whenever my IP address changes)
  • Port 80 is open to allow users to connect to the above server. To the best of my knowledge, the only IP addresses that are allowed outgoing access through that server are in the 192.168.4.* range

If any users online can use that server as a proxy, to connect to the Internet at large through, I'd appreciate it if someone with technical knowledge can help me to disable it. If not, then I ask that the block be lifted, as my server is not an open proxy! GrahamDo (talk) 11:07, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This user is asking that his autoblock or shared IP address block be lifted:

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting decline reason here with any specific rationale. If the decline= parameter is omitted, a reason for unblocking will be requested.

{{unblock-auto reviewed | 1=198.54.202.30 | 2=<nowiki>spambot; [[meta:No open proxies]]</nowiki> | 3=DerHexer | decline=decline reason here ~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting accept reason here with your rationale:
