(History: This issue was initially directed to vandalism list for lack of a clue. After
discussion with User:CaesarB, he recommended that I approach a developer. I hope this is
the right method to do that.)
On April 12th, I visited the main page of
en.wikipedia.org while not logged on. At the
top of the page was notice that "you have messages". When I selected the
associated link, I was directed to the page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:10.0.0.23, upon which was posted a "no more
nonsense" warning (which is still there).
I have limited understanding of the IP and wikimedia, but it seemed that this should not
happen, since I am external to wiki. To the best of my knowledge, I should have been
identified as IP 204.4.13.x (probably IP 204.4.13.72 but this may be shared). Also, the
presence of the warning at the 10.0.0.23 user talk page suggests that at least some edits
were identified as coming from that address.
CaesarB suggested I approach a developer because, "[...] it might mean a
misconfigured Squid proxy on Wikipedia's side [...]".
I'm still fairly new to wiki, so I don't know if this is the right venue to broach
such a request or not. If am not in the right place to pursue this, please direct me at
the reply address (or at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:CoyneT).
If this is the right venue, would someone please keep me posted?
Thanks.
Coyne Tibbets
