On January 6th 2006 the static IP address used by the institution I attend and mainly edit Wikipedia with was blocked. This IP address is the IP of a proxy server used by the institution for security reasons. Other users at the institution seem to have used the IP rather than create an account and have vandalized Wikipedia :-(. So untill the proxy's IP is unblocked, I can't edit. -- Gary Kirk (talk) 14:51, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
No problem. Apparently some guy named Chris was responsible ( [1], [2]). You should write an message on the user page and user talk page for that IP, so maybe they'll stick to shorter blocks when vandalism occurs. — FREAK OF NURxTURE ( TALK) 15:17, Jan. 6, 2006
I notice you've moved Tony Banks's page from Baron Stratford to Lord Stratford several times now. I know it seems strange, but the convention on Wikipedia is to list life peers under the title Baron, even though they are usually know as "Lord X". Check out the page of any other peer, e.g. Sebastian Coe, Baron Coe or Lord Falconer of Thoroton (which redirects). -- JRawle 17:03, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
On January 12th 2006 the static IP address used by the institution I attend and mainly edit Wikipedia with was blocked. This IP address is the IP of a proxy server used by the institution for security reasons. Other users at the institution seem to have used the IP rather than create an account and have vandalized Wikipedia :-(. So untill the proxy's IP is unblocked, I can't edit. IP address is IP is 193.112.229.153 and I was blocked by Bhadani. -- Gary Kirk (talk) 10:40, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
Regarding the template Template: user ravenclaw, I believe it is better to use the image of the raven. If you wish for the images to be consistent, then the appropriate action should be to add an image of a lion to Gryffindor, a badger to Hufflepuff, and a snake of some kind to Slytherin. Do you object to this project? Niffweed17 21:02, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi Garykirk. I noticed you had applied a speedy-delete tag to a couple of articles that don't seem to me to meet the criteria for speedy deletion. Notability is only a criteria for speedy deletion if the article is about a person or group of people, such as a band or club. It doesn't apply to cemetaries and the like. You could, of course, nominate it for AFD instead. Hope this helps! — Cleared as filed. 16:57, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
Any images you upload need to be tagged with a Image copyright tag, and must allow reproduction, modification and use on other commercial sites. -- Admrb♉ltz ( T | C) 00:37, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Just a reminder that I need to read WP:ARCHIVE. -- Gary Kirk (talk) 20:47, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
Am removing the tag. But still don't find it notable enough for it's own article. - Aksi great 18:25, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
Apologies. When I reverted a broken link, the Fall/Autumn change went with it, and I missed it. Radio Kirk talk to me 05:21, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 49% for major edits and 65% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 94 minor edits in the article namespace.)
This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 10:30, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
Hey again
Edderius!
*For a phpBB forum I'd reccomend
ForumForFree. I have an IPB and phpBB forum hosted for free, with ads, by them. You could easily set up a subdomain on your site - forum.eddiesegoura.com and have it redirect to the phpBB forum. That would take all the bandwidth and server space costs out of the equation!
*For a free MediaWiki installation, try
EditThis.Info. It uses the same engine, MediaWiki, as Wikipedia and all its
sister projects. For a fantastic example of a non-Wikimedia Foundation wiki, take a look at
The Amusement Wiki. Your contributions there would also be much appreciated!
Hope this helps you!--

Thanks. I'd forgotten about him as I really thought he would not do it again. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 13:28, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
Taken, thanks. I have my prefs set to "This is a minor edit", and don't usually think of my edits as major, so rarely change it. Bill 13:46, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
Metus is a real band and was not an experiment, we where a little short of info because we where working at school and not at home, please put this article back up and we will edit it later on tonight —Preceding unsigned comment added by JJPoolie ( talk • contribs)
Sorry, I just found a bug in how SuggestBot was doing its thing. I'll repost in a day or so after I have time to fix it. Sorry about the confusion. -- ForteTuba 15:04, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways, from comparing articles that need work to other articles you've edited, to choosing articles randomly (ensuring that all articles with cleanup tags get a chance to be cleaned up). It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 04:05, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
