Please consider re-visiting Talk:Heinrich Hertz#jewish ancestry. I'd be interested in your feedback about the suggested edit strategy I've proposed. --Ooperhoofd (talk) 15:45, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Reality

You wrote to: User talk:207.156.48.171 Welcome, and thank you for experimenting with the page Reality on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Will (aka Wimt) 23:38, 4 July 2007 (UTC) ... Please do not delete content from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Reality. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use Wikipedia:Sandbox for test edits. Thank you. Spartan-James 23:40, 4 July 2007 (UTC) ... If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

I have never visited the article Reality let alone edited the article. I never edit without logging in and this can be verified. While IP 207.156.48.171 is Hayes E-Government Resources as checked by ARIN WHOIS, this could be another instance of a Tor as mentioned above by Iamunknown. Please do not block. Thank you.

Hey there - the warning that I gave was for this edit back in July. You do not need to concern yourself now, as it is very likely that this IP is either shared or was being used by a different individual at the time at which the vandalism occurred. Also, even if there was still vandalism coming from the IP, we block shared IPs anonymous only so that registered users like you can continue to edit :-) Whilst tor exit nodes are hardblocked, you don't need to worry about that either, because this IP is not a tor exit node (you can use this lookup to test if IPs are tor exit nodes if you are interested). Best regards. Will (aka Wimt) 14:55, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Request to unblock former TOR exit nodes

Wimt, I checked the last 5000 blocks via Special:Ipblocklist (mostly out of curiosity), and found that

• 66.92.214.112 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log)

which you blocked as a Tor exit node,is no longer an exit node. Barring circumstances unbeknownst to me, would you please consider unblocking these IP address? Thanks, Iamunknown 01:57, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

That's absolutely fine. I block IPs that are on the list at the time of them vandalising, but it's a very fluid list so if that IP is no longer an exit node, by all means feel free to unblock it. Regards. Will (aka Wimt) 02:00, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

And unblocked :-) Will (aka Wimt) 02:01, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you.  :) --Iamunknown 05:45, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Virus

Is the code active or not? I ask because my computer displayed the code in question but do not think it works simply appearing on pages as html. –– Lid^(Talk) 16:36, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Nah, there's no risk from the code unless you were to make a file out of it and run it. But it shouldn't be posted on Wikipedia of course. That's why I deleted it. :-) Will (aka Wimt) 16:37, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

We have one problem http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Very_Frequently_Asked_Questions&action=history, it's the same as the problem with the sandbox addition. –– Lid^(Talk) 16:39, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Luckily that page doesn't have anything like the number of revisions that the sandbox did. I've deleted and restored it without the revision. Will (aka Wimt) 16:41, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

This is going to give me ridiculous paranoia even though I know it was benign. Looking at the "page name" it seems possible they were trying to create a page with a .vbs extension so that it would function as such. Does wikipedia have immunity from ideas such as that? –– Lid^(Talk) 16:44, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah as far as I know, there's absolutely no chance that anything posted on Wikipedia could run on your machine (other than your own JS), regardless of what they were attempting. I wouldn't worry :-) Will (aka Wimt) 16:47, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Help

Thanks for your help earlier on IRC. Think I've sorted the problem now. I used an other browser to delete the monobook.js and it's all working again! MSGJ (talk) 15:24, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Good to hear :-) Happy to help! Will (aka Wimt) 17:26, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

WP:BN

Regarding your comments, apparently my cousin was familiar with indenting rather than ANI. Best, Rudget. 19:16, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Indeed. Well I'd very much like to know your cousin's account name. I hope you can see the importance of this. Regards. Will (aka Wimt) 19:17, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
