government account

not an ip, oddly enough: User:CabOffice01 on enWP , whom I just blocked, and the page they contributed, which I just deleted as G11. I assume its a minor functionary. DGG (talk) 03:19, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

212.234.218.51 / Minister of the Interior (France)

This IP was blocked on the English Wikipedia today for 31 hours due to external link spam. The WHOIS information indicates it belongs to France's Minister of the Interior. --auburnpilot talk 19:55, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

192.197.82.153/Canadian House of Commons blocked

I have sent an email about this, but IP 192.197.82.153 has been blocked for a period of 48 hours. Let me know if you have any questions. --Shirik (talk) 17:33, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

IP 138.162.128.55 blocked

As noted here, I blocked the IP server for 138.162.128.55, after repeated warnings and blocks, for one (1) year. It is fairly clear to me that some young enlisted men or women from the United States Marines's Quantico base have too much time on their hands. The final straw was this idiotic vandalism. If you unblock or change the block, please send a message to my English Wikipedia or Meta talk page(s). Thank you in advance for your understanding. Bearian (talk) 20:55, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

  • I don't know that I like the wording used in the block; "vandalism-only account" is incorrect as I see several edits that aren't vandalism. Those shared templates, which I have always been a supporter of, are becoming useless as sysops are continually ignoring the purpose of them, which is to highlight the fact that the IPs tagged with them are used by many, many users.

User talk:156.33.241.5

I just had this interesting conversation, based on misunderstandings in the press and on twitter: https://twitter.com/AuntieImperial/status/364398003655688192 ; perhaps the Shared IP gov template could be made to somehow look a tad less threatening so people aren't mislead? --Kim Bruning (talk) 15:10, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
