User talk:198.54.202.250
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Attention:This IP address, 198.54.202.250, is registered to SAIX-CACHE, Telkom SA Ltd., Parow, Western Cape, South Africa, and may be shared by multiple users. If the organization uses proxy servers or firewalls, this IP address may in fact represent many users at many physical computers.
For this reason, a message intended for one person may be received by another and a block may be shared by many. If you are editing from this address and are frustrated by irrelevant messages, you can avoid them by creating an account for yourself. In some cases, you may temporarily be unable to create an account due to efforts to fight vandalism; if so, please see here.
If you are autoblocked repeatedly, we encourage you to contact your Internet service provider or IT department and ask them to contact Wikimedia's XFF project about enabling X-Forwarded-For HTTP headers on their proxy servers so that our editing blocks will affect only the intended user. Alternatively, you can list the IP at Wikipedia:WikiProject on XFFs.
Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking - if a block is needed, administrators should consider using a soft block with the template {{anonblock|optional comment}} as the block reason.
| Note: In the event of vandalism from this address, abuse reports may be sent to your network administrator for further investigation. |

[edit] Please read!
Posting user-specific comments on this page is an exercise in futility. This is a primary routing ip shared by many thousands of South African internet users. The anonymity offered by this can be frustrating, but consider the negative impact of stopping thousands of potentially positive edits for the acts of the minority who uses this secrecy to effect negative change before banning this ip. Thanks.
[edit] To users of this ip:
As should be evident, this ip is shared by a large number of people. To evade posting restrictions placed on this ip because of malevolent users, register an account.
Pointless user-specific comments follow:

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Yhis IP is one of SAIX's proxy servers through which most South African HTTP traffic is "transparently" proxied. Blocking it will block a large percentage of South African users. 41.244.226.167 13:54, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
