Cleanroom

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Misplaced Pages, as you did to Cleanroom. It is considered spamming and Misplaced Pages is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Since Misplaced Pages uses Nofollow tags, additions of links to Misplaced Pages will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. --JFreeman 18:40, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Misplaced Pages, as you did to Conveyor belt. Misplaced Pages is not a mere directory of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policy for further explanations. Since Misplaced Pages uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. See the welcome page to learn more about Misplaced Pages. Thank you.

Please stop. If you continue spamming, as you did in Cleanroom, you will be blocked from editing. Húsönd 17:39, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

February 2007

This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, as you did to Linear actuator, you will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted as well, preventing anyone from linking to them from any site that uses the MediaWiki spam blacklist, which includes all of Wikimedia and Misplaced Pages. Nposs 17:44, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, please ignore this notice

This is most definitely a shared IP address, shared by a large number of users. Nposs, I'll see what I can do about the problem you've mentioned, but this is for all practical purposes a public IP, so exercise caution if you feel a block is warranted. "Soft blocking" would be effective. Dino 18:13, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for experimenting with Misplaced Pages. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. --TeaDrinker 21:31, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

August 2007

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to HD DVD. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Misplaced Pages:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add your original reference to the article. Contact me if you need assistance adding references. Thank you.

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make any unconstructive edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant warnings.

User:BryanFromPalatine, User:ClemsonTiger, User:DeanHinnen?

Hello, have you ever used any of these three usernames in the past? Lawrence Cohen 18:35, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

No. There are over 17,000 people employed by Robert Bosch LLC, from California to Massachusetts and many points in between, and we all share this IP address. 209.221.240.193 (talk) 18:50, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Could you please obtain a user account

Otherwise your comments may be mixed up with another person from the same IP address. If you don't want to do that for some reason, could you plase sign your comments with some sort of name so that there will be no confusion between you and other people from this IP address.

Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration#Waterboarding

Please see the above link as I have requested arbitration for a dispute that you are involved in. Feel free to contribute there. Regards, henrik•talk 11:44, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Waterboarding arbitration

If you want to post a statement here, I'll copy it over for you. Lawrence Cohen 16:52, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

You're wasting your time, Mr. Cohen. I'm guilty until proven innocent. There are 17,000 people working here, but it appears that we all have the same IP address and as far as Misplaced Pages administrators are concerned, we are all sockpuppets. But thanks for the offer. Despite accusations made by others I think you were just trying to create a good article, even though you and I disagreed on where that process should go. Others have now gone out of their way to make false accusations and engage in guilt by association. This is not constructive, nor does it contribute to the purpose of building a good encyclopedia. 209.221.240.193 (talk) 18:53, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, by the way, for the complement, Mr./Ms./Mrs. 209. Lawrence Cohen 19:22, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

If it had just been the IP address, I wouldn't even have mentioned it. But it isn't just the IP address, and it would be remiss of me not to point out the links. I would also be happy to post your statement on the Arbitration page. BLACKKITE 19:00, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

What else was there, Mr. Kite? I share an IP address with 17,000 other people, and one of them has been a problem at Misplaced Pages. The other 16,999 (including me) are blameless. What you have is the most thin and wispy circumstantial evidence I've ever seen, but you have a real talent for making it look like "Standing Over The Dead Body With The Smoking Gun In Your Hand." I haven't even looked at the Free Republic article. Freepers are lunatics. 209.221.240.193 (talk) 19:05, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Let's look at it neutrally. We have an article which is being attacked, almost certainly, by one or more sockpuppets of a previously banned editor. That particular editor had a major focus on the Free Republic article, as does anpther editor who has recently been blocked for sockpuppetry on the waterboarding article. Given that, it would be ludicrous not to point out that the article is also repeatedly being edited by an IP which was previously proved by Checkuser to have been used by the previously banned editor. Surely that is logical? BLACKKITE 19:19, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

And the fact that nearly all the IPs involved in all the attacks and disruption all geolocate to within a 15-17 mile radius in one corner of suburban Illinois. Seems a bit of a coincidental stretch that all these random people all arrive at once, from the same physical neighborhood (Elmhurst, Palatine, Hoffman Estates), with similar viewpoints, outlooks, and with the same adversarial tone and language that this BryanFromPalatine used. Lawrence Cohen 19:22, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

You said, "the article is also repeatedly being edited by an IP which was previously proved by Checkuser to have been used by that editor." That is one of many false statements and conflations, Mr. Kite. I never edited the Waterboarding article. I very calmly and rationally discussed proposed changes on the Talk page, with all due respect to people who disagreed with me, despite being labeled as an SPA and a sockpuppet. I finally blew my cool on one occasion at ANI after being tagged, once again, as an SPA; but my conduct on the Talk page has been exemplary. But you have succeeded in getting rid of me, Mr. Kite. Relish your victory. 209.221.240.193 (talk) 19:24, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

• You misunderstand. I was talking about User:BryanFromPalatine, who previously used this IP address (as confirmed by CU). And that user is linked to User:Shibumi2 - etc. BLACKKITE 19:30, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Now I'll turn to you, Mr. Cohen. Chicago is the communications hub of the Midwest. The world headquarters of AT&T is there. Therefore Internet users all over the Midwest are using IP addresses that resolve to Chicago or one of its suburbs. There are probably close to 100 million people with IP addresses resolving to Chicago or one of its suburbs. I will add that there are about 50 million people using Sprint wireless accounts, and Free Republic also has thousands of users (I have no idea how many, but there are evidently a lot of them) and they're all obsessed lunatics who own guns. I want nothing to do with them, but they're political junkies and it shouldn't surprise you to find a few of them hanging around a politically explosive current topic like Waterboarding. 209.221.240.193 (talk) 19:33, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

• The mathematical odds of multiple people using the same IPs with the same language, interests, tone, and inclinations as a single person in one particular physical suburb (Elmhurst, Palatine, and Hoffman Estates are not Chicago, they're suburbs west-southwest of the city) are far fetched. Then, for multiple people from the same distinct, tiny geographic area to all arrive with similar IP addresses and agendas in a short time span, as a known Conservative zealot are just plain ridiculous. Lawrence Cohen 19:38, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

What part of "Chicago the communications hub of the Midwest" don't you understand? 209.221.240.193 (talk) 19:39, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

The part where I began to wonder why you never simply logged into an account, perhaps. Or where more and more evidence turned up. Unfortunately, I will not posting here again, as I am fairly sure you're who is suspected. Lawrence Cohen 19:41, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

• The problem is not that there are some disruptive accounts that resolve to Chicago or to Midwest-based Sprint - but that ALL such accounts we have identified so far do so. It is flat out not realistic that this is a coincidence. And that is my last comment here too - it seems pointless to continue this dialogue. BLACKKITE 19:43, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
