This is a transparent proxy running the Bess content-filtering system for the entire Maine State Library Network, covering the internet connections of most Maine elementary, junior-high, and high schools. I belive its presence is required by some law that requires internet filtering on the aforementioned schools. As such, it affects me, as I live in a dormitory at the Maine School of Science and Mathematics.

Hi. We don't make articles about ourselves. Please don't create a self-titled article. Consider signing up for an account and you will have your own user page to talk about yourself. - Tεxτurε 17:10, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. 16:48, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Blocked for 3 months after reviewing edit history. Thue | talk 17:56, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

User has returned from block early and vandalized list of biologists. Placing another 3 month block. UtherSRG 18:31, Dec 15, 2004 (UTC)

. Despite this IP being a proxy, there have been no valid edits in the past 3 weeks to warrant this IP not being blocked. - UtherSRG 17:39, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)

Vandalized Mount Tambora. -- dcf 14:14, 2005 Mar 3 (UTC)

This IP continues to post nothing but vandalism. It looks like there was supposed to be a 3 month block imposed in december, but was not put in place. I have put a 1 month block on right now. --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 19:32, Mar 11, 2005 (UTC)

I received a mail from someone who claims they edit from this IP as a proxy and suspect that another user is vandalising from it. I will respond here. First of all, banning anonymous proxies that vandalise is encouraged by policy: Wikipedia:Blocking policy#Anonymous and open proxies. Secondly, I recommend you create your own account to avoid identity confusions like this. Thirdly, I don't see any valid contributions in this account's history, so I am not going to unblock it before the month is up without seeing evidence that this vandalism won't occur and that valid edits will occur. --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 20:30, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)
I am reviewing this further. --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 20:52, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)

I've attempted to use the school computers for Wikipedia to be thwarted by blocks several times, and have yet to have the chance to contribute from anywhere but my own home. I don't dispute the policy of blocking abused IP proxies; I just hope I manage to post something constructive while at the library after this latest block is lifted, before vandals ruin it again. (PS: Contributions from this IP address are only counted for users that aren't logged in, aren't they? Is there a feasible way to allow logged-in users to edit while blocking unregistered users at this IP address?) Phoenix-forgotten 22:28, 2005 Mar 14 (UTC)

I have unblocked this user. Since this is an IP address shared by many people, vandalism is inevitable. But we do have at least one legitimate user who also uses this IP address. If you do block this IP, please make your block no longer than necessary. Blocking for an entire month is too long. I would say a few hours should be the maximum, for sustained vandalism. Rhobite 08:45, Mar 17, 2005 (UTC)
  • I know of other users who are affected as well, having friends that use the system; this really discourages them (some are newbies to the whole concept) from using wikipedia and I tried to solve the situation by telling them to register an account, but it appears their accounts can't edit either?! Can't you just ban non-registered users (who we can't discern from) who use the IP, not registered users who might have legitimate contributions? Or do they have to request individual unblocks? -- Natalinasmpf 02:18, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I agree with Natal; I think I suggested something like that too. And the Special:Contributions for this IP only records edits when not logged in, so why can't it be unblocked for those logged in, too? (The month-long ban, incidentally, was also just lifted today.) Phoenix-forgotten 22:08, 2005 Apr 11 (UTC)

This IP has been vandalizing again today (4/26). Are we to just let it go because more than one person uses this computer? How do we know that it's not just one person, simultaneously vandalizing and then playing to our sympathies? Atrivedi

You do realize it's a proxy, right. An entire library and school system is linked to the internet through it. It's doubtful someone would bother to create several registered users/sockpuppets using this IP in some elaborate manipulation game. It's just a bored juvenile killing time in the school library that's tainting all anonymous users here, and inconveniencing the registered ones with the blockings. Anyway, I personally try to check the Contributions page every once in a while and reverse the damage I see, since I use the same network. 169.244.70.148 18:31, 2 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop messing with the VfD page and other pages. It's vandalism. Eric119 16:06, 13 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Another vandalism: [1]. Pavel Vozenilek 17:44, 16 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Recent vandalism: Tiaret, Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Caiman (Star Fox), and joke article: "National Democratic Party (United States)" - Tεxτurε 19:02, 25 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

If you change people's votes you will be blocked from editing. - Tεxτurε 19:02, 25 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Recent vandalism at Dominican Republic, and put cleanup tag at Star Fox for no reason. Thunderbrand 17:03, May 26, 2005 (UTC)

We don't have time for these games. Blocking for three days. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 23:13, 26 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop making test edits to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism, which, under Wikipedia policy, can lead to being blocked from editing. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. jni 12:21, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
If you believe that there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

You have been blocked again for repeated vandalism - Solipsist 12:18, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Your birth date

Please do not create birth date entries for yourself and your friends. This is vandalism and if it continues you can be blocked from editing. - Tεxτurε 16:14, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
