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
