When blocking this IP, I got this message:

You are blocking a sensitive IP address belonging to the Wikimedia secure gateway. Please be sure to notify the Wikimedia Foundation Communications Committee immediately.

I am uncertain about what to do now, but you can see en:WP:ANI#Blocked sensitive IP?. Reaper Eternal (talk) 16:39, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Block of 138.163.128.41

Hi, I've just blocked IP address 138.163.128.41 on the English Wikipedia for renewed serious vandalism (including to my user page) and the message at the top of the page said to leave a notification here as it belongs to the U.S. Naval Telecommunications Station. I've blocked this account (and a similar U.S. Naval Telecommunications Station address) recently for the same vandalism. The key characteristic of their editing is that they edit user pages to make it appear that the editor is advocating pedophilia or bestiality. An abuse report might be in order.

RIPE resolves this one to Qatar Telecom, even though it's not one of the two IPs listed as sensitive. Blocked for 24 hours since someone keeps inserting incorrect and/or unsourced information into articles on enwiki about Saudi airports. Daniel Case (talk) 16:34, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

US Navy Network Information Centre

On enwp, at least two shared IP addresses were autoblocked at the US Navy Network Information Centre today, resulting in two w:WP:UTRS tickets from collateral autoblocked users (one account and one anon). I've unset autoblock on the indef'd account that caused it, apologised to the affected users, and cleared all autoblocks. UTRS tickets are #337 (autoblock #3851740) and #338 (autoblock #3851741). --Tristessa de St Ange (talk) 17:06, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

I saw this in the recent changes at the English Wikipedia, just thought I'd drop a note in case the blocking administrator didn't know to let you know. 02:35, 27 July 2012 Elockid (talk | contribs) blocked 216.81.94.0/25 (talk) (anon. only, account creation blocked, cannot edit own talk page) with an expiry time of 48 hours ({{anonblock}}) PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 02:41, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
