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.

You always seem to be under a lot of stress, what with dealing with trolls and vandals and people who just don't get it. Relax and have a cookie. You'll feel better (food allergies excepted). -- Cyrius|✎ 06:18, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I undeleted it and this is a relisting based on Wikipedia:Undeletion policy. The previous vote is clearly linked in my introduction to the listing. --Michael Snow 01:02, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Could you see where the user who posted this innitially is from? I think it might be someone trying to promote the effect, effectively making it an ad. The Balducci levitation is notable amongst magicians, but thought I know about King Rising, I don't know how it's performed, and it's not really been about all that long. Still, it might be notable amongst its performers, so don't delete it just yet. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|^(talk)]] 10:00, Nov 12, 2004 (UTC)

RickK, take a look at the "What links here" for this page. It is pretty clear that it is not intended as a rival page, but a refuge from the edit war. The title is certainly not the best (I would have chosen just "temp") and it might belong in a User sandbox, but deletion seems a pretty harsh solution. Just my two cents.
