 This IP address, 82.148.97.69, is registered to Qtel, an Internet service provider, through which multiple users may connect to the Internet via proxy. This IP address may be reassigned to a different user when the current user disconnects. 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 you are autoblocked repeatedly, contact your Internet service provider or network administrator and request it contact Wikimedia's XFF project about enabling X-Forwarded-For HTTP headers on its proxy servers so that blocks will affect only the intended user. Alternatively, you can list this IP address at Wikipedia:WikiProject on XFFs.
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. |
- This talk page is for communicating with anonymous contributors from Qatar only. For information on press coverage, see User:82.148.97.69/press.
This IP address is registered to Qtel. It is the IP address for many people in Qatar, if not the entire country. As such, it should only be blocked for short periods of time. To avoid these short blocks and from being alerted to changes to this talk page, contributors from Qatar may register for an account. This only requires the creation of a username and a password. No personal information has to be given, not even an email address.
If a person using a registered account for vandalism is blocked, a software feature may cause the IP address to be temporarily blocked. This is called an autoblock. The IP addresses of registered editors are not visible for privacy reasons, so administrators have no idea when this will happen to a particular IP address, such as this one. To have this IP unblocked because of an autoblock, click on the "new section" tab at the top of the article and put {{Unblock-auto|This IP address, which is shared by most or all of the country of Qatar, has been autoblocked.}} in the large text box. Put "unblock" or something similar in the subject/headline field. The text to the right of the "|" can be changed to your liking. Click the "Save page" button after you are finished. It may take a little while for your request to be noticed and acted upon.
There is no way to permanently damage Wikipedia, because it is always possible to revert to an unmolested version of a page. Click on the "history" tab at the top of this page for an example. Each line that you see is a past version of this page. The page can be changed back to one of those versions in a few seconds by any user. Admins can revert all changes that a user or IP address has made to an article with a single click, which makes even vandalism spread across numerous pages easy to fix. In addition, copies of Wikipedia are made regularly and stored offline. A registered account will be permanently blocked if it appears that it has been created for vandalism, and an IP address will be temporarily blocked for vandalism, if necessary, even if it has many users. Therefore, please consider the effect on other people in Qatar before vandalizing Wikipedia.| History of this page | ||||||||||||||

[edit] Word of Encouragement
I say, Qatar, dear fellow, you seem to have been idle[1] for some time now. Is it because of all the blocking that disrupts your work routine? Here's hoping to see you back in action soon - we are eagerly awaiting the last word on Wilfy Rebimbus, Eric Sink and Dingdong Dantes! --82.140.52.6 (talk) 13:40, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's numerical IP address. Some IP addresses change periodically, and may be 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. |
