Just some things to say about People who edit from my school (Alfred Deakin High) Mr. Sisley is a teacher who encourages the use of new technology (including Wikipedia) and he wouldn't abuse it. Also the above mentioned vandalism to the Pope article was made by a friend of mine name Michael Taliaphero. I also think that the vandalism to the following articles was made by Michael: Jew and John Howard. Also, James Brown is a friend of Michael and I. He is responceable for the vandalism to the James Brown page. I think that he may also be responceable for the vandalism to the Bogan page but I may be wrong. While the school can't really stop people like Michael, it does it's best so could you please stop banning the schools IP address (or find a way to let me make changes on my account).
