NOTE: IF YOU ARE ANONYMOUS, AND POST ANYTHING ON THIS PAGE, YOU WILL BE DELETED WITHOUT CONSIDERATION.

Hiya I saw you recent post at the village pump, and thought I'd come an teach you how you could have done it.

Firstly do a reverse DNS check to see the internet provider. If it's AOL give up. AOL is far too large, has far too many computers for you to ba able to block the vandal.You'll sucseed in blocking loads of legit users and probably won't get the actual vandal.

Assuming it's not AOL then proceed as follows,

64.12.116.10 through 64.12.117.22

Set the last digits to 0 64.12.116.0 ->> 64.12.117.0

do two /24 blocks 64.12.116.0/24 and 64.12.117.0/24 that will block a total of 512 IPs

Stick to /24 only if you are at all unsure about what you are doing. Note that /31 will block fewer than /24 and /16 will block a lot more. Never go lower than /16 ( I don't you you can in actual fact anyway) Also since range blocks catch innocents as well as vandals keep them short. Policy is 24 hours only I think.

Just wanted to point out to you that I filed an arbitration request on this user, for (among other things) calling others Nazis in edit summaries and in one case on their own user pages. Pakaran. 04:17, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[1] I went straight to arbitration because the user was making so many personal insults, and seems to like the word "Nazi" even more than RK does, which while it may exhibit some talent, perhaps is not needed here. Pakaran. 04:29, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Don't worry, the AC will handle it I'm sure. They've stepped in on less blatent personal attacks. Pakaran. 05:44, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Stop moving things without discussion. You are trying to turn the English Wikipedia into the Polish Wikipedia. Why don't you go work on the Polish Wikipedia and quit your POV edits? RickK 05:22, Jul 22, 2004 (UTC)

The kings' name were Vladislaus (in Latin version) and Władysław (in Polish version). I don't see why we should drop the first letter from the king's name. PolishPoliticians 05:25, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)

There is a CLEAR temporary convention regarding name of Gdansk (Talk:Gdansk. You were part in this discussion, so you are aware of the conditions. YOU break the rules. So, please if you do not agree with them, please discuss it on Talk:Gdansk with other users. Regards.Yeti 23:14, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)

hey. I was hostile to you before. This time I'm keeping it chill. I was just seeing if you knew what I was referring to in the article. No big. I can't stop a thing from getting deleted. That's cool. You seem like a nice guy somewhere in there.

why did u block me just now? Kzzl

is it possible someone else is using the same IP??

I think I got blocked because of someone else's bad behavior, after checkin out the blocked list. Can you unblock me? thanks, Kzzl

It is very serious to call me a polish nationalist and a vandal. Can you please explain yourself on my page or on my e-mail. Also you revert all my edits to the versions by a user who on the first version of his page placed a german nationalistic statement. Also, why did you revert my edit on Kiev? Why did you revert my answer to Burschenschafter? Are you taking sides without discussion? Or maybe you already have a strong opinion on every article I edited (what a coincidence) and instead of voicing it, you express it by blocking my account? Anyway, in the future I would like a group hearing before calling me a vandal, because ou're obviously biased. Thank you for understanding. Space Cadet 02:36, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Your kind words on my talk page really were appreciated. I'm returning, but limiting the VfD somewhat. See you on the main site! - Lucky 6.9 06:59, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)

It is exactly that, by definition. If it is unwanted trivia then it would be that also. But your unwanted trivia could be my essential research material. Paul Beardsell 23:22, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)

So you agree: It is bowdlerism. No, I am not going to do as you suggest. Are you going to censor every page with "nude" in it? Don't be a prude. Paul Beardsell 23:30, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)

That is your opinion. Leave the article alone. I think best to continue this on the talk page of the article as is customary. This comment copied from my talk page. Paul Beardsell 23:37, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)
