it isn't a real ip but ok whatever
127. is part of the reserved private IP range, but i guess rules are rules so I don't mind.

Am I allowed to just start editing with a new account if I chose a better username and let people know I had this username block? I am 172.17.86.194 (talk) 13:16, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
 * The message above says that yes you can. You can create new account - however if you want to keep your previous contributions, you should add to your talk page, so that your username would be changed instead of having to create new account. Check here to check if the username you want is already in use.   Ilyushka88   talk  13:28, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
