Your host, static-72-86-140-138.phlapa.east.verizon.net (72.86.140.138), is part of a pool of dynamically allocated addresses and is registered to Verizon Communications. 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 2018[edit]

Hello, I'm Aspening. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Risë Stevens seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Aspening (talk) 00:56, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Please do not attack other editors. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Aspening (talk) 01:00, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop[edit]

The reason I was reverting your edits was because they were not written in a neutral point of view. Please do not call me an "idiot" or "nitwit." Aspening (talk) 01:04, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you're not the classic wikipedia nitwit, then I don't what in the world you would be. There's nothing I said that is not already in all the (decent) obituaries of Stevens. Dope.

ANI notification[edit]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Aspening (talk) 01:36, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

September 2018[edit]

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Risë Stevens. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. {{u|zchrykng}} ^{T|C} 01:38, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Insults[edit]

It is against wikipedia policy to call editors, even those you disagree with, (and even vandals), names ("idiot", "nitwit", "dope"), see WP:NPA. Tornado chaser (talk) 01:51, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

September 2018[edit]

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for contravening Wikipedia's harassment policy. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

No, you will not be allowed to call your fellow editors "idiots" and "nitwits". No, that is not allowed. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 01:52, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
