User talk:142.227.228.130

Welcome to Wikipedia, school user! Please note the following:

This IP address, 142.227.228.130, is registered to Gaetz Brook Junior High School, Gaetz Brook, Nova Scotia, Canada, and may be shared by many different people. If this school uses proxy servers, many people at different computers, or even at different schools in an area, can connect to the Internet through this same IP address. Because of this, a message meant for one person may be read by another, often someone who has not done anything wrong, and a block of this IP address will mean that everyone using this address will not be able to change Wikipedia.

If you are making changes from this address and are getting messages that are not for you, you can avoid this by creating your own account. If you cannot do this, it most likely means that doing so has been stopped so that other users cannot make any bad changes. You will then have to make an account at home and log in with it here.

Please think before blocking this IP. If a block is needed, admins should consider a soft block.

Note: If this address is used for vandalism over and over again, making changes without an account may be disabled for up to 1 year at a time, and abuse reports may be sent to the people who run the school in cases of long-term disruption by people with accounts.

School staff, to monitor this IP address for disruptive changes, can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.

Hello 142.227.228.130, and welcome to the Simple English Wikipedia! You are welcome to continue changing articles without logging in, but you may wish to create an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and has several benefits, such as a username of your choice and your own user page. If you edit without a username, your IP address (142.227.228.130) will be used.

Either way, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please remember to sign your name on talk pages by clicking or using four tildes (~~~~); this will show your username and the date. Also, please do your best to always fill in the change summary. Below are some pages to help you get started.

Happy editing! π r ² 18:52, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make helpful changes to Wikipedia. However, some of your changes did not seem to be helpful and have been reverted or removed.

February 2014[change source]

This is the only warning you will get for the bad changes you made. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did to Shrove Tuesday, you will be blocked from changing Wikipedia. LlamaAl (talk) 17:50, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the change, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

This is the discussion page for a person who has not created an account yet, or who does not use it.

We have to use the numerical IP address to identify them. An IP address can be shared by many people. If you feel that things said here are not about you, you can create an account or log in to stop it happening again.
