An editor has asked for a deletion review of Barentu, Gash-Barka. Since you closed the deletion discussion for (or speedy-deleted) this article, your reasons on how or why you did so will be greatly appreciated in the above review.
This IP address was that of an AOL web proxy which now sends X-Forwarded-For headers to the Wikimedia Foundation. No further edits should originate from this IP address. For more information, please see Wikipedia:AOL. If you are an AOL user editing from this IP address, please email an administrator to have the problem corrected. Note that this IP address has been indefinitely blocked, so you will not be able to edit from this address.
As they say in the movies, "ooh behave". Seriously, though, we are trying to write an encyclopædia here, so don't make joke edits. Some readers looking for a serious article mightn't find them amusing. Remember, millions of people read Wikipedia, so we have to take what we do a bit seriously here. OK?
Regarding DAbramson's comment justifying his block of this IP: 'A few good edits mixed in with raucous vandalism - not sure what's going on, but blocking just the same - post a note on your user page if you have an explanation.' -- the explanation is that this is an AOL IP used by literally millions of people, which is why there is a mix of good edits along with a great deal of vandalism. Since AOL IPs change depending on the page being accessed (not the user), blocking this IP also blocks, at random, a percentage of all other AOL users, including those who have screennames.
There are times when I really wish anonymous AOL IPs (not registered users) were hard banned from editing Wikipedia. It is unfortunate that it is impossible due to the collateral damage concerns. Can't sleep, clown will eat me19:08, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

ya know, if you all weren't so damn hospitable towards vandals ('oh, thank you for experimenting with wikipedia', etc.) and put big freaking smiley faces on their discussion pages, maybe it wouldn't be so common. you can't let these things happen on a free-content encyclopedia.

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.
