Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism, and if you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the hard work of others. Thanks. --JoanneB 11:27, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Blocked

For persistent vandalism, personal attacks in edit summaries, and general inability to contribute in a constructive manner, I have blocked this school IP address for 3 hours. Rob Church ^{Talk | FAHD} 17:52, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Call made to the school

Lots of bark, little bites. Final threats are made, further vandalism and flaming occur, more final threats are issued--who will really permanently block this address for all the vandalism and abusiveness? I did put in a call to the high school and for the network administrator, they gave me the computer science teacher Rob Rogers, 1-203-341-1200. He has received a voicemail message from the Wikipedia community warning him this address is being considered for permanent blocking due to vandalism and verbal assaults--[unless you all were just kidding]. The school's address is: Staples High School; 70 North Ave; Westport, CT 06880; USA. Maybe an administrator should get in touch with him...--12.150.146.82 18:28, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

We were just kidding

Sorry about all of this, we were trying to have fun and we promise not to vandalize again. Next edit off this IP I promise will be constructive...

Who was just kidding?

While the Wikipedia community is highly magnanimous, the "unless you all were just kidding" phrase above was originally intended for administrators, asking the degree of sincerity behind their proposed punitive/damage control measures. Nevertheless, I see the phrase has found a new home among Staples High School users. Please beware that while it may have been latched on to as a show of penitence, the absolute absence of humor in these displays of vandalism has been evident, whether or not you were "kidding". Magnanimous as we are, stop the vandalism we can all move on. --12.150.146.82 23:44, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Comments

It was a group of students which included me who often got bored and just had fun with vandalizing articles here. But after what 12.150.146.82 said, we've learned our lesson and have now stopped. As long as no other students I don't know about start vandalizing...

When will this block end?

When will this block end? A number of legitimate edits come from this IP, don't block it for so long at one time. Is there a way to let logged-in users edit from this IP?--64.251.53.130 16:45, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

If you are a legitimate user affected by the block, you can e-mail the administrator who blocked the IP and ask him/her to review the situation. That's probably the best way to go about it; it also leaves a record as to the collateral damage involved, so that in the future other administrators will be better equipped to evaluate the length of the block. --Nlu (talk) 20:38, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

February 7, 2006

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 and create an account. Again, you are welcome here at Wikipedia, but remember not to vandalize or you will soon be blocked from editing.

About all this vandalism

Yes, I do have to admit that there have been quite a lot of vile edits (well not to mention a few scattered constructive ones). The Computer Club here, as well as the computer staff (including Rob Rogers) are all aware of this, and we are aware that a two-month block was just removed to avoid collateral damage. It also is notable that the next "real" block is permanent.

Me and many others are aware of the problems Wikipedia is having from this IP, and it is quite embarrasing that a school as notable as this can be responsible for all of this. Although many of us have gotten the warning, there are nearly 1,600 students at this school, and it may take a formal school-wide announcement in order to stop this.

Computers are also quite abundant here; most classrooms have at least one in them, and many of them work quite efficiently. I hope no further action will need to be taken against this IP.
