User talk:Wroscel

Welcome[edit]

Hello, Wroscel, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!

Thanks for answering my question on La Plata. G Clark 21:31, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Pronic/heteromecic/oblong[edit]

Thanks. You reminded me to do something I had said I'd do a long time ago. (I left user pages and talk pages alone, however, and also certain lists). There's plenty of confusion about these numbers, the name being the most obvious. The indexing is also open to interpretation: are 0 and 2 the first and second, or the zeroeth and first?

I have granted your account an exemption from IP blocking. This will allow you to edit through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in.

Please read the page Wikipedia:IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions.

Note in particular that you are not permitted to use this userright to edit Wikipedia via anonymous proxies, or disruptively. If you do, or there is a concern of abuse, then the right may be removed by any administrator.

Appropriate usage and compliance with the policy may be checked (through the use of CheckUser) periodically, due to the nature of block exemption, and block exemption will be removed when no longer needed (for example, when the block it is related to expires).

I hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit successfully and without disruption. T. Canens (talk) 20:32, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, it appears to be working. However, I also have an interest in knowing if this is affecting a large swath of users on the US Navy gateways. Did you find anything in your investigation that indicated why the block was also applying to logged-in users? Walt (talk) 21:51, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The block was placed to prevent abuse from a certain banned user for whom anon-only blocks proved insufficient. I recall checking for collateral damage at the time of the block and finding it to be relatively minimal. T. Canens (talk) 22:32, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the response and your efforts in investigating. Knowing you did the analysis I trust your conclusion; I just wanted to know if the issue had been looked at. Walt (talk) 17:34, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
