{{unblock|not a vandal, shared IP}} 82.198.250.15

Hi, unfortunately I am not going to be able to unblock those IPs as evidence shows they have been used to do harm to Misplaced Pages. Additionally, the first IP appears to be a school IP, so my recommendation to you would to be to edit from home instead. --Pilot|guy 18:41, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
I don't have that option. It's ridiculous that Misplaced Pages blocks registered users from editing from shared IPs. --Wnjr 10:23, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
Abuse of minor edits tag
Please remember to mark your edits as minor when (and only when) they genuinely are minor edits (see Misplaced Pages:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one (and vice versa) is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a 'minor edit'. Thank you.
This is the only warning you will receive. Your recent vandalism will not be tolerated. Although vandalizing articles on occasions that are days or weeks apart from each other sometimes prevents editors from being blocked, your continued vandalism constitutes a long term pattern of abuse. The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages.
Your contributions list shows that you virtually always mistag your contributions as "minor." "A check to the minor edit box signifies that only superficial differences exist between the current and previous version: typo corrections, formatting and presentational changes, rearranging of text without modifying content, et cetera. A minor edit is a version that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute." Even a cursory glance at recent edits you have labeled minor reveals that you are flagrantly misusing this tag by making substantive edits that clearly could be and have been "the subject of a dispute" and labeling them as minor.

- Reverting vandalism and editwarring is always a minor edit. Please refrain from making hyperbolic threats you cannot back up, it's boring.

- Given that practically every edit on your contributions list is tagged "minor", either you're abusing the tag, or you've yet to make a substantive contribution, preferring to do nothing but what you consider to be "everting vandalism and editwarring." You've been warned. If it happens again, admin action will ensue.Simon Dodd 12:36, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
