Attention:

This IP address, 142.22.16.50, is registered to British Columbia Systems Corporation 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.

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.

Shared Network[change source]

Hi! This network is shared by the lower mainland in British Colombia, and used by the School Districts in Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, New Westminister, and Surrey. Evidently, there would be some difficulty in monitoring this IP address. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. 142.22.16.58 19:59, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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.
