Your IP address, SharedIP, is registered to Some organisation, and may be shared by multiple users, so you might receive messages that are not intended for you. In the case of organizations using proxy servers, this IP address may in fact represent many users at many physical computers.

To have your own userpage and gain access to other special features, create an account! It's fast and free. In some cases, you may temporarily be unable to create an account due to efforts to fight vandalism, in which case, please see here.


If you are autoblocked repeatedly, we encourage you to contact your Internet service provider or IT department and ask them to contact Wikimedia's XFF project about enabling X-Forwarded-For HTTP headers on their proxy servers so that our editing blocks will affect only the intended user. Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking - if a block is needed, administrators should consider using a soft block with the template {{anonblock|optional comment}} as the block reason.

Note: In the event of severe vandalism from this address, abuse reports may be forwarded to your network administrator for further investigation.
