Your host, mobilepool157-157-168.ppp.netnitco.net (216.176.157.168), is part of a pool of dynamically allocated addresses and is registered to Northwestern Indiana Telephone Co., 703-799 S County Line Rd, Hebron, IN 46341, USA. It may be shared by multiple users, so you might receive messages on this page that were not intended for you.

To have your own user pages, keep track of articles you've edited in a watchlist, and have access to a few other special features, please consider registering an account! It's fast and free. (Note: Sometimes, due to vandalism, you may be temporarily unable to register).

Applying an indefinite block to this IP is not appropriate, unless it is a soft block, because the IP address will later be reallocated to a different, unrelated, and unsuspecting user, thereby impairing access to Wikipedia in an inappropriate fashion. Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking.

The best approach is to determine the CIDR IP numerical address range and make a higher-level decision to soft-block the entire range. http://www.arin.net/ (for approximately North America) and related sites can help to identify that range. Caution is advised when applying a range block as other Wikipedians, both registered and otherwise, may be affected.

In the event of vandalism from this IP address, abuse reports can be sent to its network administrator for investigation.

Review contributions carefully if blocking this IP address or reverting its contributions. If a block is needed, administrators should consider a soft block using Template:Anonblock.

Network administrators, to monitor this IP address for vandalism, can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.

September 2014[edit]

Bog bodies[edit]

Hi, I noticed that you've created a series of pages on bog bodies that were originally redirected to List of bog bodies. Because the list itself covers most of the information available about the bog bodies, adding text to the redirect is not necessary, as there isn't a lot of text for the individual find to have its own article. Unless you are able to find a significant amount of information, by all means, add the new information to the entry on the list or you could add to the redirect page. I'd also strongly recommend an account, as you seem to have an interest in editing Wikipedia. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to help! Thank you, --GouramiWatcher^pride 02:04, 6 September 2014 (UTC) [reply]

Merging[edit]

It is unnecessary to merge Eohippus with Hyracotherium, as both genera are still considered distinct from each other. Furthermore, when you wish to merge two articles together, you only need to place the merge tag on one page, so that the tagged page is to be merged into the designated article.--Mr Fink (talk) 15:49, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

FYI[edit]

Please note that my edits are not vandalism. Please, take note of the previous message I sent you. --GouramiWatcher^pride 15:58, 6 September 2014 (UTC) [reply]

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to WDSO, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.Meters (talk) 18:38, 6 September 2014 (UTC) [reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for persistent vandalism. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 18:42, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! 216.176.157.168, I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that can be disappointing. If you are wondering or curious about why your article submission was declined please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there!

One list is better than a lot of stub articles[edit]

I've undone your edit to Roum Man because there is not enough content for a stand-alone article; the information is better presented within the list of bog bodies. If you disagree, I'd start discussion at Talk:List of bog bodies about splitting the article to see if there is consensus for the split, but only split the article after there is clear consensus. —C.Fred (talk) 01:03, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Aurochs with this edit, you may be blocked from editing. Donner60 (talk) 03:36, 9 September 2014 (UTC) [reply]

How do you explain your edits to FDsys as anything but vandalism? —C.Fred (talk) 04:09, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning. You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Federal Digital System. KylieTastic (talk) 15:54, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Nederfrederiksmose Body shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
You have already had notices about not splitting List of bog bodies into separate articles, and you have been asked to get consensus on the talk page before doing so again. Meters (talk) 16:19, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 3 days for persistent vandalism. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

There's no consensus to split this from the Bog Bodies article. You have previously been warned about this, and you have previously been blocked for this (and other) type of edit. Meters (talk) 20:11, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You are suspected of sock puppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Panderichthys4144. Thank you. --GouramiWatcher^pride 02:18, 27 September 2014 (UTC) [reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Lizardsquad[edit]

Hello, 216.176.157.168. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "Lizardsquad".

The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at WP:REFUND/G13. An administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Rankersbo (talk) 18:00, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
