Your host, cpc95616-seac27-2-0-cust856.7-2.cable.virginm.net (81.96.15.89), is part of a pool of dynamically allocated addresses and is registered to Virgin Media. 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.

Welcome![edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, such as the ones you made to Shark Tale. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Here are some links to pages you may find useful:

You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but if you wish to acquire additional privileges, you can simply create a named account. It's free, requires no personal information, and lets you:

Create new pages and rename pages
Edit semi-protected pages
Upload images
Have your own watchlist, which shows when articles you are interested in have changed

Note that in order for the first three features to be available, you must have had an account for a minimum number of days and made a minimum number of edits.

If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (81.96.15.89) is used to identify you instead.

I hope that you, as a Wikipedian, decide to continue contributing to our project: an encyclopedia of human knowledge that anyone can edit. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, or you can click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. We also have an intuitive guide on editing if you're interested. By the way, please make sure to sign and date your talk page comments with four tildes (~~~~).

Happy editing! ~mitch~ (talk) 20:31, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Enjoying your edit summaries and learning a couple thing along the way. :) S0091 (talk) 20:02, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Happy to help. To be honest the article as it is could probably do with being renovated. But there's no rush... Thanks – 81.96.15.89 (talk) 20:12, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There's hundreds, if not thousands, of articles that could use the same. Incremental improvements are gold as far as I am concerned. S0091 (talk) 20:49, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Ad Orientem: Please explain why you feel compelled to issue such a harsh block. Such a long block would surely require more justification than a confusing and nonsensical summary like "Disruptive editing as per before. I like original mistakes. (???)". Unless you're stable enough to clarify what on Earth your intention was with this apparent word salad, I'll be forced to the conclusion that you're going senile and should probably be kept away from the project for your own good. 81.96.15.89 (talk) 13:16, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This IP has a history of disruptive editing and being used for block evasion. It has also accumulated quite a list of warnings, although you have been removing them. Speaking of which, this edit summary caused me to seriously consider extending your block. I also note that you were blocked only a week ago. I suggest you tread carefully unless you want your block extended sans TPA. -Ad Orientem (talk) 14:43, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Courtesy ping @Bishonen: -Ad Orientem (talk) 14:44, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the ping, Ad Orientem. IP, this edit strongly suggests that you're the same person as the blocked account User:HUNTER PRINCE KHALID. Any comment on that? Bishonen | talk 15:50, 30 January 2020 (UTC).[reply]

@Bishonen: Wow, it's a miracle, you are capable of leaving non-templated messages. Until now anyone could be forgiven for thinking your account was operated by a bot, and not a very sophisticated one at that. Still, it's super cute that you think anyone cares what you have to say.

Really, you should be grateful; I know you're glad of an excuse to extend the block indefinitely and revoke talk page access, and I fully expect you to do just that. If the last few years have shown us anything, it's that the Wikipedia community (administrators especially) care far more about their own collective ego than the actual integrity of the project. 81.96.15.89 (talk) 17:08, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

February 2020[edit]

Hello, I'm Tymon.r. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to List of Marvel Comics characters: G—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. Tymon.r Do you have any questions? 11:22, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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

@Tymon.r: I was simply reinstating a change made by an administrator – why is this being labelled vandalism? Why is it vandalism when I do it but not when @JJMC89: (peace be upon him and all his infinite and glorious wisdom) does it? 81.96.15.89 (talk) 11:27, 21 February 2020 (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.
