Attention:
This IP address, 62.25.109.194, is registered to Energis UK and is 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. In the event of vandalism from this address, efforts will be made to contact Energis UK to report abuse.
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.
Quoted for emphasis. Posting warnings and angry comments is not going to have much effect on IP vandals (and pesters the thousands of non-vandals at the same IP. --62.25.109.19416:36, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The warnings are unfortunately a minor nuisance compared to the problems caused by the repeated, widespread vandalism and spam coming from this address. Creating your own account is a simple way of avoiding being pestered by these warnings. If you could give us the name of the company in question, the people at WP:ABUSE could go some way to preventing further vandalism. Aquilina16:55, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I concur; it would help a great deal if editors would create their own individual accounts so vandals and spammers could be identified and seperated much easily. For those who are making more positive contributions via this IP address, it would benefit you to get your own accounts anyway, as you get improved editing features, your own webspace amoungst other things etc.
I suspect that the vandal(s) opperating from this IP address may lead to this account being blocked in the next 24/48 hours, as the rate and seriousness of the vandalism and spam is escalating and the warnings are seemingly ineffective. Another instance and example of the type of vandalism hailing from this address includes this inappropriate edit to the Royton article, and this offensive edit to the Oldham page, amoungst the many examples on the page below.
Like Aquillina, I would urge the more sensible editors from this address to create their own accounts as being a major employer/shared address does not exempt you from the rules or the impending ban from editing. I hope this helps. Thanks for your time, Jhamez8419:38, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Please stop adding nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. --Calton | Talk 14:11, September 10, 2005 (UTC)

Hello, I see that you keep editing the Chadderton page of Wiki, changing "Chadderton" from a town to a district. I am sorry to say but you are wrong and I have had to revert your article twice. Please use the talk page before making any more alterations. Thank you.
Crompton was an urban district of Lancashire, England from 1894 to 1974 not an Urban District of Oldham Stop changing all the towns near Oldham to 'Oldham'. Numerous pages have been reversed. Know history before you change it.
(One Pence23:18, 15 January 2006 (UTC))[reply]
I fully agree with (One Pence, and once again, on the 14th March several pages about small towns in the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham have been changed to belonging to Oldham. This is incorrect. Please make yourself aware that Oldham like Shaw and Crompton lie within the Borough of Oldham, rather like Manchester and Tameside lie within Greater Manchester. Thank you for your co-operation.

Due to the earlier vandalizm a few people will be watching every edit done from this IP - It looks though that there are more than 1 editor active. Maybe you could register so your edits would be seperated from each other. Agathoclea17:24, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
As you have continued your recent editing pattern on articles related to Denmark and Oldham, despite repeated requests to quote sources or desist I am going to request administrator intervention immediately.
I have quickly counted fifteen requests to stop on this talk page, without reply or a change in behaviour. If a block on the ip is deemed justifiable, editors will have to register accounts to edit; hopefully they can then be held to account individually. Aquilina20:08, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
March 17, 2006
Hi. Thanks for your recent edits to The Shamen. I've reversed two of the changes for reasons I've explained in my edit summaries, but everything else has been allowed to stand. I'd like to ask that in future you summarise your edits so that other editors can see at a glance what you've done. You also ought to consider getting an account (if you don't have one already). Here's the standard welcome message for anonymous editors:
Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions.
Currently, you are editing without a username. You can continue to do so as you are not required to log in to Wikipedia to read and write articles, however, logging in will result in a username being shown instead of your IP address (yours is 62.25.109.194). Logging in does not require any personal details. There are many other benefits for logging in to Wikipedia. For now, if you are stuck, you can type {{helpme}} on this page and an experienced Wikipedian will be around to answer any questions you may have.
Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as: copyrighted texts, advertisement messages, and texts that are not related to that article. Both adding such unreasonable information and editing articles maliciously are considered vandalism. A user who repeatedly vandalises articles will be blocked from editing.
The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, ask me on my Talk page – I will answer your questions as far as I can! Thank you again for contributing to Wikipedia.
Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do.

Read the warnings above. If you carry on reverting articles when you have been warned not to, will result in your IP being blocked from editing. At the very least, why not make your case on the talk pages for the articles? Leave a note on Talk:Chadderton as to why you feel so strongly it is not a town, and we will consider what you have to say.
With your edit history and the number of warnings you have above, people are regularly checking for your edits, and they will be immediately reverted unless you discuss them. So what's the point? Aquilina16:35, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding your edits on Scandinavian towns and football clubs - I assume you've got a source, as you're fairly systematic about it. The reason your edits are being reverted is that we need to know the source of the figures. If you tell us which source you're using, we can put your edits back in. Normally for population sources, we need detail of how the figures were produced (ie by conurbation/electoral district/governmental district/...) and preferably a page with a list of all the figures together - ie a "List of towns in Norway population" page. I think the current figures are based on the last census in those countries Aquilina17:47, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You have been blocked from editing for vandalism of Wikipedia for a period of 24 hours. If you wish to make useful contributions, you are welcome to come back after the block expires. If you are collateral damage of the block, e-mail me and I'll review. Talk to your network administrator about local measures to control vandalism. --Nlu (talk) 16:47, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Your recent edit to Royton was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept our apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior.

Your recent edits to U2 and Steel City derby were unsourced changes to statistical information. Could you not change these figures unless a source is provided? Similar edits without sources will be reverted as possible vandalism. -- Chuq13:07, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. I've just had to revert a number of your edits: it's the accepted style on Wikipedia to only link to an article once from a given article, and never to link recursively (i.e. put a link X within article X) - have a look at WP:CONTEXT and WP:MOS - it's very useful.
Your recent edit to Oldham was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles.

Please stop making edits to statistical data in this article without using a reliable source. RSSSF is a standard resource for editors interested in football statistics, and even the quickest glance at [2], [3] and [4] shows that your edits removed much correct information. Aquilina11:28, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I will repeat this comment made above, as it still applies:

Thank you for experimenting with the page Michelle Marsh (model) on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.
Please be mindful that Royton is in the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham - NOT the town of Oldham(they have their own seperate articles, and Wikipedia is an encyclopedia - not an address label).
We only write Royton, Oldham if we are writing down an address: just to generalise and shorten the writing process. However, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia where you should present statements in a more factual and accurate manner, so you should really be writing: Royton, in the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham, England.
These smaller towns actually belong to the much larger Metropolitan Borough of Oldham(please look at the article and see for yourself!)- if you change the Michelle Marsh (model) page again you will be in violation of wikipedias rules (see 3RR for an explaination of this) and I will present your edits to a Wikipedia administrator who may find it nessassary to block you from Wikipedia. Consider this an explicit warning not to alter the page again.
My apologies for being so sharp and precise about this, but your constant and unexplained edits are not appropriate in this instance, and I am writing here to try to recify the situation. Thank you for your co-operation, Jhamez8422:43, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
As your edits are often inappropriate and erroneous, I am keeping a close eye on your edits. I recently found you had inserted a Spam link to the featured article of Transhumanism which can be found here. This goes against strict wikipedia rules and will be removed. Your edits can and will be traced and reverted so please do not make this kind of contribution again or I will present your profile to an administrator who may block you from editing indefinately.
With regards again to Oldham articles, please stop changing pages regarding the satelite towns of Oldham, e.g. Royton, from saying they are in (the correct) Metropolitan Borough of Oldham to just the town of Oldham. This is wrong due to many reasons including legal status, wikipedias conventions of place naming, and of course FACT! That Royton is in the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham is NON-NEGOTIABLE - and you are not even justifying your contributions. Your edits are not appriopriate for Wikipedia in this instance. Consider this your LAST WARNING about this before I will present your profile to an administrator for vandalising these pages. You are however encouraged to make positive and encyclopedic contributions on wikipedia.
With regards to your commerical and non-sensical external links....
This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. If this is an IP address, and it is shared by multiple users, ignore this warning if you did not make any unconstructive edits.
Welcome to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia! You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and gives you many benefits, including:
The ability to customize the appearance and behavior of the website.
The eligibility to eventually become an administrator.
Your IP address will no longer be visible to other users.
We hope that you choose to become a Wikipedian and create an account. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have on my talk page. By the way, make sure to sign your posts and comments with four tildes (~~~~), which will let others know who left it. WinHunter(talk)10:22, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Adding unrelated external links to articles is considered vandalism. If you continue to use Wikipedia for advertising, you will be blocked from editing.

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to N-Trance, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. Jhamez8410:11, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hello all, I've recently set up an account on here, thought it might be best as I've regularly been an editor on here, and dislike being banned for something that isn't my own doing! I contributed largely towards the Shamen article and have also been involved in the Oldham editing war!

This is the only warning you will receive. Your recent vandalism to Oldham was profoundly malicious. The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
Additionally, do not make personal attacks to other users, such as you did here. Your editting pattern is testing the patience of the wider editing community. I have reported you for your violations. Jhamez8414:04, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You have recently vandalized a Wikipedia article, and you are now being asked to stop this type of behavior. You're welcome to continue editing Wikipedia, so long as these edits are constructive. Please see Wikipedia's Blocking policy and what constitutes vandalism; such actions are not tolerated on Wikipedia, and are not taken lightly.
We hope that you will become a legitimate editor. Again, you are welcome here at Wikipedia, but remember not to vandalize or you will soon be blocked from editing.
If you feel you have received this message in error, it may be because you are using a shared IP address. Nevertheless, repeated vandalism from this address may cause you to be included in any future sanctions such as temporary blocks or bans. To avoid confusion in the future, we invite you to create a user account of your own.
You have been temporarily blocked from editing for vandalism of Wikipedia.

You are right that some of the material in George Galloway needs better citation. But please also note the notice at the top of Talk:George Galloway about poorly sourced material that could be libellous. We have to take special care when posting negative material. See WP:BLP. Also, there was a clear anti-Galloway slant in the tone of your edits that was contrary to WP:NPOV. Also, the site from which you are editing is a multiple user site that has been blocked for vandalism. I am not stating that your edits were vandalism, but, if possible, it would be better for you if you registered as a user in your own right. Viewfinder13:00, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
