Educational institution IP address
This IP address, 82.198.250.74, is registered to London Grid for Learning 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. |
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.
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. |

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. |
