Are you the same person as User talk:IAm172.16.100.1? Wikipedia usernames are names; wouldn't you prefer to have a username people can actually call you by? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 21:21, 9 November 2009 (UTC)


 * No, I'm not that person. I'm "I am 172.17.86.194" At least the rule is consistant and you stop everyone having numbers in there name. Numbers mean a lot to me.  I cant just have a string of numbers because the thing wont let you create a name like that.  And there are lots of editors with unpronouncable names.  but don't worry, I'll give up trying to edit wikipedia.  If it's this much trouble just to get a user name I don't think I want to bother with actually making edits. I am 182.397.392.123.33 (talk) 21:31, 9 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Hmm... I could be wrong, but isn't there somebody with a name like 127x0x0x1, revealing their IP, that's been editing for a good long while? It seems dubious that anybody would actually confuse this with an IP address. This is an unusual name, sure, but I'm not sure that it's blockable right out the gates. – Luna Santin  (talk) 01:30, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
 * 127.0.0.1 isn't an IP address; it's the local computer. - Jeremy  ( v^_^v Stop... at a WHAMMY!! ) 01:46, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Well aware! ;) The username I was thinking of uses some other actual address, but I couldn't remember it, so filled in with a recognizable placeholder. – Luna Santin  (talk) 01:47, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
