User talk:217.206.188.170

Attention:

This IP address, 217.206.188.170, is registered to City of London School for Boys and may be shared by many different users of a school. If the school uses proxy servers, this host may represent many users at many different actual computers.

Because of this, a message meant for one person may be received by another, and a block will be shared by many people. If you are editing from this address and are getting messages because of other people, you can avoid these messages by creating an account for yourself. In some cases, you may not be able to create an account for a while because account creation has been blocked to stop vandalism.

Caution should be used when blocking this IP. If a block is needed, administrators should consider a soft block.

Note: In the event of on going vandalism, anonymous editing from this IP address may be blocked for up to 6 months at a time, and abuse reports may be sent to your school administration for investigation in cases of long-term abuse by registered users.

Educational institution staff and network administrators, to monitor this IP address for vandalism, can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.

Please use the sandbox if you want to do any more tests, and see the welcome page if you want to learn about helping Simple English Wikipedia. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:07, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
