Your host, bras-vprn-wkwron6001w-lp130-04-70-27-24-42.dsl.bell.ca (70.27.24.42), is part of a pool of dynamically allocated addresses and is registered to Bell Canada - Meyersburg, Ontario, Canada. It may be shared by multiple users, so you might receive messages on this page that were not intended for you.

To have your own user pages, keep track of articles you've edited in a watchlist, and have access to a few other special features, please consider registering an account! It's fast and free. (Note: Sometimes, due to vandalism, you may be temporarily unable to register).

Applying an indefinite block to this IP is not appropriate, unless it is a soft block, because the IP address will later be reallocated to a different, unrelated, and unsuspecting user, thereby impairing access to Wikipedia in an inappropriate fashion. Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking.

The best approach is to determine the CIDR IP numerical address range and make a higher-level decision to soft-block the entire range. http://www.arin.net/ (for approximately North America) and related sites can help to identify that range. Caution is advised when applying a range block as other Wikipedians, both registered and otherwise, may be affected.

In the event of vandalism from this IP address, abuse reports can be sent to its network administrator for investigation.

Review contributions carefully if blocking this IP address or reverting its contributions. If a block is needed, administrators should consider a soft block using Template:Anonblock.

Network administrators, to monitor this IP address for vandalism, can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.

Welcome!

What exactly do you mean by above line ???

This is now third email response from you yet still have

Lastly code number at top keeps changing every few days - ???

Why ???

You Wikipedia people need to explain these things

very much better in these instances as your

( " insider language " ) makes no sense to most people.

Thank You. 70.27.24.42 (talk) 19:43, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

1) We don't use ALL CAPS on talk pages as it's considered screaming, which most people find rude.

2) You keep removing the markup that creates redlinks, and redlinks promote article creation, which is why I reverted your edits. (And I noted that in my edit summary).

3) For better or worse, the rules we have and our "insider language", is the system that is in place, and if you want to edit this project, you need to learn and adapt to it, not expect it to bend to you.

4) As for the "code at the top that keeps changing", that is your IP address. It keeps changing because it's dynamic. This wouldn't be an issue if you create an account, as I suggested above. It's free, it's easy and provides plenty of benefits.

5) Lastly, you may have noticed that at the top of this talk page, and the top of the talk page of your previous IP addesss, I placed a 'welcome' template message to help you. I suggest you read through it, and the links it contains, as it contain a lot of useful information for inexperienced users. If you need any other assistance, you can always contact the Help Desk. - wolf 00:54, 19 March 2022 (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.
