User talk:82.148.97.69/Archive 1

Technical note
FWIW, due to the technical workings of an automated censor imposed by the sole national high speed ISP, this IP represents the entirety of the country of Qatar, which means effectively that the entire country has been blocked from editing anything. I'm sorry to see that there has been a significant amount of vandalism coming from the country, and understand the reason for the block, and see the fundamental problem as being the fault of the required censorship; however, if there were a finer grained way to do the block, it would certainly be preferable for non-vandalising users in the country. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.148.97.69 (talk • contribs).

Perhaps it would be possible to find some compromise involving limited account creations and blocking on a per-account basis; I'm sure that Qatar is not the only nationality/organization with similar technical restrictions. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.148.97.69 (talk • contribs).


 * Are logged-in users coming from this IP still allowed to edit? If so then this is only blocking anonymous editing by Qataris. PermanentE 07:43, 1 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes; the ban is only for anonymous users 89.6.43.167 17:43, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

PermanentE, I don't know whether logged-in users can edit because I can't create an account: "Account creation from this IP address (82.148.97.69) has been temporarily restricted. This is probably due to persistent vandalism from the shared IP address you are editing from, most likely from your school or internet service provider." I'd also like to add that by blocking Qatar, wikipedia is blocking the majority of Al Jazeera journalists - so much for impartiality  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.148.97.69 (talk • contribs).


 * Can't the users from Qatar use a proxy to get a different IP, and create an account. Maybe they can log in with that account once it's active, even though their IP is banned? MasterDirk 10:44, 1 January 2007 (UTC)


 * It seems all these people are effectively using the same IP address. Can you suggest a technical solution distinguishing them from each other? On a separate note, can Qataris with an existing user account log on and edit? WLior 14:55, 1 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Banning a million people from anonymous posting seems an over-reaction to some vandalism Ngourlay 12:00, 1 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Banning a million people is not the reaction to the vandalism. It is an unintended secondary consequence. The IP block has occurred due to vandalism. It might be however that the block is reconsidered *because* of the unintended secondary consequence. Toby Douglass 15:06, 1 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I feel the claim of partiality is utterly - ridiculously so - incorrect. The IP was blocked due to vandalism, not because Al Jazeera journalists use it. I would agree with the points made that the impact of this block is serious, but Wiki IP blocking works well with the large majority of countries; Qatar is the exception, and is the exception because of its own behaviour. Toby Douglass 15:04, 1 January 2007 (UTC)


 * the US has a lot of vandalism coming from it as well. shall you ban all american ip addresses? in fact, on the larget internet, a large amount of spam originates in the USA. if other countries were as 'wise' and 'logical' as the wikipedia rulers, they would ban the USA from contacting the outside world. then write a bunch of hurt and offended garbage reasoning about why its not discriminatory, was 'the only option', was 'totally necessary', and a bunch of other simple minded, foolish, thinking. as for your statements 'qatar is punished because of its own behavior', i hate to tell you this but a country is not a person. qatar is a nation of millions of people, and 99% of them did not do anything wrong, and yet are being punished by this 'wise' and 'logical' action. please tell me which historical philosopher of society would have found that acceptable or reasonable?  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.185.250.195 (talk) 21:44, 1 January 2007 (UTC).


 * The US does not apply a State-wide firewall to Internet access. As such, net access comes from a very wide range of IP addresses, unlike Qatar, where all net access comes from one IP address. Accordingly, when vandalism occurs from the US, that specific IP address is blocked and the vandal is thus dealt with without blocking other users. There is no wish, desire or intent to block all US users because of that one person, just as there is no wish, desire or intent to block all Qatar users because of their vandals. Qatar, however, due to its State-wide firewall for censorship and monitoring of private access to the Internet, has led to matters being such that banning one IP address blocks all annoymous users in Qatar. As such, your question is wrong ("the US generates plenty of vandalism, so why are we not blocking the entire US?"), since it implies that *all* Qatar was *specifically and deliberately* blocked because of the vandalism from a few Qatar users. This is *NOT SO*. All Qatar was *inadvertantly* blocked, *because of how Qatar has arranged its net access*. If Qatar had normal arrangements for net access, only the IP addresses performing vandalism would have been blocked, and this is the wish, intent and desire of the blocking action. It is not for the Wikipedia to endure vandalism so that Qatar can continue with its unusual net access arrangements (which, I might add, are deeply unethical, since they are used to intervene in the lives of others for reasons other than self-defence). Toby Douglass 22:55, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Is the per captia volume of spam from this IP address higher than any other, given the number of people it is shared by? If not, what justification is there for blocking it over any other IP? A block amounts to guilt by association. Some people seem to be treating Qatar as a single unit (eg. using the phrase "its own behaviour". What is "it"?) It is people being dealt with here, and they should not be lumped into some faceless mass. How would you like it if your IP address was blocked, through no action of your own? It might be convenient to block the IP address of a 840,000 people, but is convenience really an excuse for trampling people? John Dalton 23:32, 1 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Qatar is a single unit - it is a single country. That unit's (read: country's) behaviour is to route traffic through a single IP address, and by doing so, they are implying that they want to be treated (electronically) as a single entity. The people are being trampled by Internet censorship, and being blocked from Wikipedia is another consequence of said censorship. --Rossj81 07:16, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

The banning
The banning of an entire country ip subnetwork is an affront to civilization. It is against everything wikipedia, nay, the internet, was supposed to stand for in the first place. The internet was supposed to be 'better than meatspace', ie, there would be no racial, ethnic, sexist, or national bigotry and communication would be free. Of course astute observers could have observerd the 'punish many for the crimes of the few' mentality of the so-called "new" internet leaders back on the IRC (internet relay chat) when country-wide bans became standard tactics, and questioning them was tantamount to being an 'network terrorist'.

Now we see the full promise of what the internet really means - centralized control of information by self righteous blowhards who do not even want to debate the principles they supposedly stand on. If any 'meatspace' court system applied a punishment to a whole class of people for the actions of one person, it would be branded as medieval, ancient, idiotic, illogical, backwards, a betrayal of the philosophies responsible for the progress, of civilization, and most of all, completely ineffective.

The wikipedians, nay, the internet 'revolutionaries', have shown their true colors, finally, after all these years. Like every other supposed savior, who thinks they must then rest the revolution from the hands of the 'ignorant masses', they become soon autocrats, and quickly replace or replicate the very system they claimed to rebel against in the first place. Revealed is their true motive: not revolution, but their own power.

So much for the internet. At least we still have books.

Nobody can ban you from putting pen to paper. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.185.250.195 (talk • contribs).

As one who was affected by the block, I'd like to clarify. On 30 December 2006, a Wikipedia admin placed a one-month block on the IP address 82.148.97.69 for reasons of chronic vandalism and spam. The IP address turned out to belong to a QTel proxy server, and thus anonymous posting from the whole of Qatar was blocked. Account creation was also blocked, but this condition was later relaxed after the ban was widely reported across technology sites. Ngourlay 11:21, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for unblocking, this is now much more better. 82.148.97.69 13:12, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
