Blocking of 203.94.130.77:

This happens to be a shared server, and it really bugs me when I can't edit stuff on it. It's a large school, and as a result, it is impossible to regulate vandalising activity on Wikipedia. There's nothing I can do about it other than ask you to reconsider blocking on the grounds of vandalisation. - Cyril Washbrook 03:08, 27 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll contact the blocking admin, xaosflux, and see what they think. Is there a way you can speak to your school's network admin and track down the vandalism - and discourage/stop it some how?--Commander Keane 03:26, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
 * This IP has been blocked several times for the same reasons:

* 2006-04-27 02:27:36 Xaosflux blocked "203.94.130.77 (contribs)" with an expiry time of 9 days (rerereturning vandal) * 2006-03-30 04:12:25 Jossi blocked "203.94.130.77 (contribs)" with an expiry time of 1 week (Recurring vandalism) * 2005-11-16 03:49:24 GregAsche blocked "203.94.130.77 (contribs)" with an expiry time of 48 hours (vandalism) * 2005-11-08 23:19:39 Infrogmation blocked "203.94.130.77 (contribs)" with an expiry time of 24 hours (Repeat silly vandalism; warned multiple times) * 2005-04-28 00:09:15 Brian0918 blocked "203.94.130.77 (contribs)" with an expiry time of 24 hours (repeated vandal)
 * It's talk page shows a history of being warned repeatedly. As CK said above, if you can get your Network Admin to stop letting your co-server-users to stop vandalizing the encyclopedia, this would not be needed.  Other options would be to not use this network, but to use your own Internet connection.  I will reduce the block on 203.94.130.77 from 9 days to 24 hours, but if vandalism persists, blocking is our only option at this time.  Thanks, —  xaosflux  Talk  03:56, 27 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Fair enough. I probably can't do much, so I'll just edit from other servers when required. Cyril Washbrook 07:30, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Peter-hitchener.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Peter-hitchener.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. ~ Bigr  Tex  19:31, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Nightlinelogo2008.png
Thank you for uploading Image:Nightlinelogo2008.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 15:37, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

July 2010 (erroneous warning)
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to The Chaser, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. The reverted edit can be found here. Thank you. Whisky drinker |  HJ's sock   23:28, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
 * This is not, in fact, vandalism. Please consult the source that I provided in my edit: the programme has been formally announced by the ABC, as is reflected in media reports such as the one I cited. Please also reconsider your approach to providing warnings, as it is regarded as poor form to template the regulars, as you have done here. Cyril Washbrook (talk) 23:44, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
 * My apologies, you appear to have been using an automated script. The revert is a false positive. Cyril Washbrook (talk) 23:45, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Apologies, it's a false positive. You might get a few more of these from Huggle/Igloo until your edits have been skipped a few times, but just remove them and undo the edit. Apologies again, Whisky drinker  |  HJ's sock   23:49, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of YourView
Hello, Cyril Washbrook. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, YourView, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:


 * 1) edit the page
 * 2) remove the text that looks like this:
 * 3) save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a message on my talk page. @ 04:07, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello Cyril,

a while ago, you have announced your plan to rewrite some of the article. I would like to encourage that, since my old edit has been deleted and I am not a native speaker. -- Framhein (talk) 18:46, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
