Whois
Attention:

This IP address, , is part of a pool of dynamically allocated addresses and is registered to the following organization America Online, 22000 AOL Way,  Dulles VA 20166 US. Applying an indefinite block to this IP is not appropriate, unless it is a soft block, because the IP address will later be reallocated to a different, unrelated, and unsuspecting user, thereby impairing access to Wikipedia in an inappropriate fashion. Comments left on this page may be received by other users of this IP and appear to be irrelevant. Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking. In the event of vandalism from this address, efforts can be made to contact America Online, 22000 AOL Way, Dulles VA 20166 US to report abuse.

The best approach is to determine the CIDR IP numerical address range and make a higher-level decision to soft-block the entire range. http://www.arin.net/ (for approximately North America) and related sites can help to identify that range. Caution is advised when applying a range block as other Wikipedians, both registered and otherwise, may be affected.

If you are an unregistered user operating from this address, note that this need not necessarily be the IP address of your machine. If you are frustrated by irrelevant comments appearing here, you can avoid them by creating an account for yourself.

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 {&#123;anonblock&#124;optional comment&#125;} as the block reason.

This is the only warning you will receive. Your recent vandalism will not be tolerated. The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Philip  Gronowski  Contribs  19:51, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Really, you're not going to accomplish anything. Just stop adding the links. It makes my life easier... by me not having to click 3 times. Philip  Gronowski  Contribs  19:57, 11 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I am not committing the vandalism, you are. I am hereby formally requesting that you stop harassing me on Wikipedia. If you persist, I will do everything in my power to have you banned. Thank you.172.135.184.176 20:05, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

The following RfC was posted earlier today in order to end this dispute once and for all. I trust that you will do the same, Phil. 172.135.184.176 21:09, 11 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Talk:Rossville, Staten Island - As part of an ongoing edit war, Philip Gronowski has been arbitrarily reverting all additions of external links to the article as "removal of spam". These external links, which had been part of the article since it's creation, are not spam, and were unjustifiably removed. One external link links to an article about the 150th anniversary of the oldest Roman Catholic Church in Staten Island, which is located in the neighborhood. Another external link links to a website created by a former resident who describes what it was like to grow up in the area before it was built up. It seems to me that this Philip Gronowski character, who has recently been resoundingly rejected in his candidacy for RfA, is not making legitimate revisions based on the rules of Wikipedia, but on his own interpretation of what is "spam". I'd like to request that this article be submitted for third party arbitration, and I have exhausted all attempts at a compromise with Mr. Gronowski. I will abide by any decision made by an impartial administrator concerning this dispute. Thank you very much for your consideration. 172.135.184.176 20:50, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Your additions to Rossville
I believe you said that you would stop adding external links to Rossville without consensus or something like that. The link in question is a personal webpage, something under links normally to be avoided (point 11). I will remove it for now and request that you cease editing the article in question until the RFC is complete. Also, read the response to the RFC on my talk page.

Please do not attack other editors. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Ronbo76 21:51, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

This is your last warning. If you continue to make personal attacks, you will be blocked for disruption. Ryanpostlethwaite contribs/talk 21:53, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
