Attention:
This IP address, 127.0.0.1, is registered to localhost, the loopback address from the local computer. All edits originating from this IP were made from the Wikimedia master server for enwiki in Tampa, Florida, and were done by one of Wikimedia's system administrators.
Dear new users: This is not a testing space. Please experiment at Misplaced Pages:Sandbox.
Dear Wikipedians: Want to test user warnings? Visit User talk:Sandbox for user warnings.
Dear administrators: Never block this user. See User:127.0.0.1#Blocking this IP for details and a workaround.

Edits from this IP
-127.0.0.1 IS EVERYONE! Me, You, Osama, George Bush, etc etc.. I was going to joke about banning this "vandal", but I just noticed that somehow actual contributions have been made through this IP. Wow. That blew my mind. --Nintendorulez talk 00:37, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
-- Wow, that's hilarious, maybe an ip spoofer? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.3.229.131 (talk) 07:24, 26 November 2006
- Someone spoofing their IP would not be able to establish a TCP handshake, which means they would not be able to establish a connection to Misplaced Pages's HTTP server. They would just send the SYN packets and never receive a reply (in fact the packets would likely never reach their intended destination in this case, as well-configured routers along the way would drop a packet with a source in 127.0.0.0/8). Capi 07:29, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- In theory, you could do such a thing by using UDP, but you'd have to be close to the server to do such a thing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rallias (talk • contribs) 18:06, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
How the hell...? Does this mean some guy at Bomis installed a browser on one of the servers and made contributions with it? BigBlueFish 08:33, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
- Perhaps. --Nintendorulez talk 19:12, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Try TOR & Privoxy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.191.68.198 (talk) 21:06, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
-In Soviet Russia, 127.0.0.1 is YOU!!! 94.195.49.119 (talk) 03:32, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
IP for Localhost
This is, in fact, an IP address. The difference is, each computer has 127.0.0.1 until a DHCP assigns you an IP address. 127.0.0.1 cannot be acessed from the outside internet. The only purpose of that address is for your own usage. Technically. 127.0.0.1 gets used throughout the internet, such as:
- Installation of internet software by the server, not by remote.
- The forum test post you see after an installation. The IP responsible for that is 127.0.0.1
So it is a private IP address, not meant for general public connection. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AOL Alex (talk • contribs) 21:59, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
- Almost correct. 127.0.0.1 is indeed a valid IP address, and each computer with a working TCP/IP stack does indeed have that address, but not just "until a DHCP assigns you an IP address". Actually, what happens is that each computer has, alongside its real physical network interfaces, a "loopback interface", which is a virtual interface that echoes back any data sent to it. This interface is typically assigned the IP address 127.0.0.1. In fact, any address in the range 127.0.0.0/8 block would be correct as per IANA reserved addresses (see RFC 3330), but 127.0.0.1 is the de facto standard (and some implementations only allow 127.0.0.1 anyway). So yes, each computer can reach itself through the IP address 127.0.0.1, but no, this address does not depend on DHCP leases, nor will it cease to exist if/when the computer obtains a DHCP lease on one of its physical interfaces.
- As to the question of whether 127.0.0.1 can be accessed externally, it is actually not as straightforward as it might sound. It is possible to manipulate the fields in an IP packet's header; in particular, it is possible to send an IP packet through a physical interface with a source IP of 127.0.0.1, and a target IP set to the IP of another machine's physical interface. If the destination is on the same subnet as the sender, the packet will indeed reach the target computer, on its physical interface (if it's in a different subnet, e.g. if it's somewhere on the Internet, it will most likely never reach its target as most routers will be configured not to forward packets with a source in 127.0.0.0/8). Once the target system receives the packet, what it does with it depends on how the system is configured (whether it is set up to forward packets or not, whether it has a firewall on it, etc). It is entirely possible for the system to be configured (intentionally or otherwise) in a way such that it will accept the packet and pass it to the protocol stack as though it had come from within.

- So, in more simple terms it was from some one on the servers?72.130.236.182 06:09, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Odd link from external site
Ok I'm not very computer literate but i don't know what this means: I was bored and did a search for my own user name, and I came across this this wikipedia mirror site. Do you notice how it says "you have new messages"? I'm assuming that the notice is personal to the user right? Well the 'new messages' link go to this talk page. What does this mean? -Taco325i 02:13, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- I would say it doesn't mean anything. It's probably just some wierd configuration on their end, unrelated to Misplaced Pages. -- kenb215 talk 02:21, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- It appears to be from a scraping of the content by one of Misplaced Pages's servers. — Jeff G. ツ 04:38, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
A ban is in order. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.51.6.12 (talk • contribs) 22:30, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
- Who needs to be banned? --WikiSlasher 09:27, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- 127.0.0.1, apparently. It seems to be a joke. Like most of the comments on this page, for that matter... ~ Ghelæ contribs 09:50, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
summary?
Ok so whats every one come to here? i just got bored and figured i would search for user ip 127.0.0.1, and to my surprise it wasn't blank, so what have you all decided on? Its a real user, its a fluke, is the owners of wiki? thats my 3 best guesses...—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hiaburi (talk • contribs) 6:07, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
- Well, basicly what the above are saying(eg, AOL Alex and Capi) is that it is from the servers.Or something in the same subnet.CommonEditor2345 00:31, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Nonsense of Misplaced Pages:Changing attribution for an edit/Denni
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Misplaced Pages:Changing attribution for an edit/Denni, by another Misplaced Pages user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Misplaced Pages:Changing attribution for an edit/Denni provides no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Misplaced Pages:Changing attribution for an edit/Denni, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.
