US House elections

Not vandalism. Inserting a fair balance message. 24.164.148.158 23:30, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Answering on your talk page... CaptainVindaloo 23:32, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've refrained from deleting and have only added that the Democrats perceived weakness on homeland security could be an election issue. This is as true as anything else but obviously does not fit into your agenda.

I don't have an agenda, I'm just RC patrolling and can't think of a reason why a load of info might have been removed. Just present proof and people will stop reverting you. In the meantime, I'll be more careful with the double edged sword that reversion is. CaptainVindaloo 23:53, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I feel my addition is being deleted by 8bitjake for no valid reason. There is no vandalism going on here!24.164.148.158 00:09, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You'll have to take that up with 8bitJake, I have little knowledge of US politics (I'm in the UK). I only got into this because your edit summary a while back looked dodgy ("I disagree with certain facts. I'm entitled"), as did a mass removal of content as well as 8bitJake's protests, so I reverted as blanking vandalism. CaptainVindaloo 00:20, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding 213.249.155.240

Hi there, a couple of weeks ago you blocked User:213.249.155.240 as an open proxy, however that IP is one of the servers at the East Midlands Broadband Consortium in the UK, serving schools - and only schools - in that region, not an open proxy. I'll admit that theres a lot of vandalism coming from there, but there are plenty of people wanting to make useful contributions too, me for example. It works in a similar way to AOL - including jumping from one proxy to another on every page load. Any chance of just hour long blocks (i.e., for the rest of the lesson) for that IP, or the EMBC group?. Sorry about these idiots causing so much damage. Thanks, CaptainVindaloo 17:43, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

213.249.155.240 is one of hundreds of apparent open proxies/zombie computers used by the "SQUIDWARD!" vandal, as shown by Special:Contributions/213.249.155.240. The vandalism which prompted the immediate and indefinite block of this IP was not caused by anybody in your school district, I'm afraid, but rather by a vicious vandalbot which has access to scores of compromised computer networks throughout the world (see Wikipedia:Long term abuse/Squidward for more information). As your system is likely at risk of more serious problems than Wikipedia vandalism, I would advise an overhaul of network security. If it is possible to retrieve a log of activity on your network on February 14, 2006 from 06:39 to 06:44 UTC, this information may be valuable to the interests of both East Midlands Broadband Consortium and Wikipedia. — Mar. 2, '06 [19:01] <freakofnur_xture|talk>

Thanks for your reply. I forgot to check the IP's contribs! I'm sure EMBC would be interested to hear about that squidward moron hijacking their servers. I'll mention it to one of our school technicians tomorrow, and he'll pass it on. Cheers, CaptainVindaloo 19:34, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks for your understanding and cooperation. Keep in touch with Wikipedia administrators regarding this issue. If you find anything interesting, feel free to post it at the Squidward vandal talk page. — Mar. 2, '06 [19:48] <freakofnur_xture|talk>
