Revision as of 13:03, 27 July 2008
Welcome to my Talk page
Privacy
Sorry, didn't know it was an issue .. incidentally, you may be interested in WP:RENAME. Best, --EmbraceParadox (talk) 01:13, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
Regarding the thread you posted on the administrators' noticeboard
If a user is blocked from editing, as an anonymous user, then to unblock them an administrator must know their exact IP address; otherwise it is impossible to unblock the correct address. This can be gotten by the user in three easy ways that I can think of:
- Visiting Special:Mytalk, which sends the user to their talk page. In the case of this person, while not logged-in it would send them to the talk page of their IP address.
- Attempting to edit a page, which causes the block message to be displayed. It should tell the user what their IP address is.
- Using an external IP-displaying site which reveals to one their IP address without them needing technical knowledge. I don't know any in particular, but I'm sure that Google would make finding one trivial.
Once we have the IP address, it would be easy to check for blocks or range blocks, and then either grant the user (as a registered user) IP block exemption or to unblock the address.
I hope this helps; let me know if you need any further help with this. {{Nihiltres|talk|log}} 04:36, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
Edit-warring on Property is theft!
Steve, reverting Jemmy is not a constructive manner in which to get your way. You may not be violating the letter of WP:3RR but you are certainly violating the spirit. I've tagged the section as {{disputed}} and hope to see no more mass-removals or reversions while both of you come to an agreement, pursue dispute resolution or disengage. Continuing to edit-war is only going to get you blocked. Sincerely, Skomorokh 13:03, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
