Exquisite-khelpcenter.png Attention:

This IP address, 82.198.250.15, is registered to Tiffin Boys' School [1] and may be shared by multiple users. Comments left on this page may be received by other users of this IP and appear to be irrelevant. Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking.

If you are an unregistered user operating from this address, note that this need not necessarily be the IP address of your machine. In many cases, it turns out to be the IP address of a proxy server that communicates between your browser and the Wikimedia servers. Such proxies are shared among a huge number of users compared to the number of persons using your particular machine. If you are frustrated by irrelevant comments appearing here, you can avoid them by creating an account for yourself.

However, you might still be unable to edit Wikipedia if the IP you are using is blocked due to a MediaWiki "feature". In such a case you could request to be unblocked.

In the event of vandalism from this address, efforts will be made to contact Tiffin Boys' School [2] to report network abuse.

Nuvola apps important.svg This IP has been repeatedly blocked from editing Wikipedia in response to abuse of editing privileges. Further abuse from this IP may result in an immediate block without further warning.

[edit] Related IPs

CheckUser evidence has determined that this IP address (or network) has been used abusively.
This address (or network) has been blocked temporarily or permanently to prevent further abuse.

In extreme cases, an entire network may be blocked to prevent an abusive user from continually changing their IP address in order to evade blocks or abusing multiple accounts. If you are a registered user and are seeing this message, please follow these instructions.

This IP or range is registered to Synetrix Holdings Limited, a company that provides ICnternet connectivity to the London Grid for Learning, covering school and other public sector locations in the UK. Individual IPs may belong to one school or may be shared by several schools. This IP range is the site of repeated abusive vandalism attacks. Attempts to stop the vandalism by blocking anonymous editing and account creation have been unsuccessful, as the vandal uses alternate locations to create accounts and then vandalizes from here. We are aware that the IPs are shared. However, whenever the IP addresses involved are unblocked, the majority of all edits is vandalism. This has necessitated the blocking of the entire range.

We want to block this vandal while impacting as few good users as possible. The following steps will help you to edit.

  1. Users who created their accounts before July 15, 2008 may request an IP block exemption by posting an unblock request to your user talk page.
  2. New users may request an account via this web site or by email. You must provide an email address issued to you by your internet provider or school so that we may verify that you are a legitimate user. Free email accounts (like Yahoo! mail, Google mail, or AOL) are easily obtained and abused and requests from such addresses will not be honored. You may be asked to edit only from home for a week or two to establish a history of good contributions before being granted the IP block exemption to allow you to edit from school. This is to reduce the likelihood of granting the exemption to the vandal. Administrators are advised to contact a checkuser when in doubt about granting the exemption.
  3. If it is possible to determine the identity of the vandal and restrict this person's computer access, the block could be lifted. An appropriate authority (School Headmaster, Synetrix IT department, etc) should contact Wikimedia Foundation attorney Mike Godwin using the contact information provided to begin inquiries. Users may wish to contact their school's network administrator about this situation.

Administrators: IP Block Exemption may be granted without checkuser verification to any account in good standing that was created before July 15, 2008. IP Block Exemption should only be granted to new users if they have provided a non-free, non-trivial e-mail address, and a checkuser should be contacted for follow-up. Checkusers are privy to confidential system logs not accessible to the public or administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy, and therefore must be consulted before this block can be removed.

Educational institution IP address
To edit, please create an account at home and log in with it here.

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.
