User talk:217.180.41.17
 This IP address, 217.180.41.17, is registered to Research Machines (UK) and may be shared by multiple users of an educational institution. If the institution uses proxy servers, this IP address may represent many users at many personal computers or devices. For this reason, a message intended for one user may be received by another, and a block intended for disruptive users may also affect innocent users. If you are editing from this address and are frustrated by irrelevant messages, you can avoid them by creating an account for yourself. Sometimes, in response to vandalism, you may be temporarily unable to create an account.
If a block is needed, administrators should consider a soft block using Template:Schoolblock.  Educational institution staff and network administrators, to monitor this IP address for vandalism, can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format. |

Further abuse from this IP address may result in an extended block. |
Due to persistent vandalism (see edit log), anonymous editing from your school, library, or educational institution's IP address may be disabled. You will continue to have access to read the encyclopedia. If you are logged in but still unable to edit, please follow these instructions. To prevent abuse, account creation via this IP address might also be disabled.
If account creation is disabled and you are unable to create an account elsewhere, you can request one by following the instructions at Wikipedia:Request an account. Alternatively, you may email us using your school-issued email address, telling us your preferred username. If editing is required for class projects, please have your instructor or network administrator contact us (with reference to this IP address) at unblock-en-l from an email address listed on your school's website. An account will be created for you. Please check on this list that the username you choose has not already been taken.
