Old warnings



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. If you do not have talk page access, you can submit a request for unblock to the Unblock Ticket Request System.
  2. New users may request an account via this web site. 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.
