Welcome! With 4 known edits excepted, this corporate shared IP was used to edit Wikipedia between 2012-08-08 and 2012-10-25 by a primary editor who has also registered the username the "good guy" for segregated maintenance edits requiring a username. From 2012-10-25 to present, this primary editor has used User:216.152.208.1 instead. 216.152.208.1 (talk) 16:19, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
Please help!
Thank you for your support! 216.152.208.1 (talk) 16:24, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

It has come to my attention that this IP address is closely related to AT&T and, taken with the fact that edits relate largely to AT&T, that this constitutes potential conflict of interest. The fact that an AT&T address might be naturally limited to editing AT&T articles has multiple reasonable explanations. I invite review of my edits by more seasoned editors. If this potential conflict should become actual by a reasonable demonstration that particular of my edits are conflicted, I will be happy to relegate edits on affected articles to their talk pages instead. 12.153.112.21 (talk) 02:06, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
Additional information relevant to the primary user of this IP (user:the "good guy") appears at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:The_%22good_guy%22&action=history but has not been archived. For attribution purposes, I also note that that history also includes a temporary content fork of List of AT&T U-verse channels (temporarily userfied at user:the "good guy"/List of AT&T U-verse channels). 12.153.112.21 (talk) 16:17, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Blocked account User:IP 12.153.112.21[edit]I've blocked the pseudo-IP-address-named account User:IP 12.153.112.21 as account names similar to, or named after, IP addresses are not allowed: please could you create another account which does not reference an IP address? -- The Anome (talk) 19:30, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

Your Corrections are Vandalism[edit]Nothing in your "corrections" is correcting anything. Removing current information and replacing it with information from May of 2007 is vandalism. In case you are in the dark on some things:
What you are doing, reverting back to 2007 information, is repeatedly adding inaccurate and incorrect after being told it is inaccurate and incorrect and that is considered vandalism. You have been issued many warnings for vandalizing articles, follow them. Any further vandalism to List of AT&T U-verse channels or any other article will result in a block. This is your final warning. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 20:25, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
![]() To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Administrator's warning[edit]Hi. I am an administrator who has been asked to review your account for possible blocking. I see that you seem to be engaged in an editing dispute with other editors. We operate on consensus here and when we disagree, we use the article talk pages to discuss our disagreements. Please make no further edits to any Wikipedia articles for now without first gaining consensus for them on the article talk pages (such as Talk:List of AT&T U-verse channels) from other, established editors. Otherwise, I or another administrator may block this account without further warning. Thank you,
October 2012[edit]![]() ((unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~)) , but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. GB fan 15:37, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
![]() 12.153.112.21 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) Request reason: Thank you, but a clearly identified doppelganger account is not a sock. The block on the doppelganger account is for invalid username while I am still thinking of a valid username, so that block does not apply to the IP. I grant there are charges of vandalism here, made by a single editor over a content dispute, but these charges fall apart upon review of any of the changes accused of being vandalism, as has already happened at one user talk to which I can point you. If this block is sustained, I respectfully request the admin point me to edits that indicate either actual vandalism or actual (deceptive) socking. Accept reason: Your account was "soft" blocked, meaning the blocking admin explicitly allowed for you to continue using this IP. Also they neglected to leave a block notice explaining that. My apologies for the lack of due diligence in this incident. Beeblebrox (talk) 16:14, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
Removing postings[edit]Don't remove other people's postings, as it's usually a violation of WP:TPO. Yes, there are exceptions to this, but your removal of my comments wasn't one of those exceptions. KoshVorlon. We are all Kosh ... 17:11, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
Removal #2[edit]You removed my posting, yet again in violation of WP:TPO. Do it again, and you WILL be reported for Edit warring. Knock it off KoshVorlon. We are all Kosh ... 17:50, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
Notice[edit]Hello. There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Numerous Problems with User:12.153.112.21. Thank you. Neutralhomer • Talk • 19:07, 2 October 2012 (UTC) 19:07, 2 October 2012 (UTC) Now that your named account has been unblocked and renamed, I assume you understand that you are expected to use it for editing and that if it is blocked for any other reason using the IP instead would in fact be block evasion/sockpuppeptry. This doesn't mean you absolutely have to log in all the time, although that is certainly preferred, but the IP should not be editing in the same areas as the named account whether it is blocked or not. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:18, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
An IP is not an account[edit]the legitimate Sock allows redirecting user account page but by definition and IP page is NOT an account and redirecting your user account page here is NOT ALLOWED. -- The Red Pen of Doom 15:17, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
ANI discussion regarding user page redirects[edit]Hello. There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.-- The Red Pen of Doom 11:13, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
However, all in all, it appears safe to revert "my own" pages to my original versions under WP:BRD and to await the ensuing discussion. 12.153.112.21 (talk) 15:35, 9 October 2012 (UTC) ANI again[edit]Hello.

Question[edit]Sorry to trouble you if you've said this somewhere before, but could you explain to me why you prefer to edit primarily with the IP address, rather than the new account? The only benefit I can see to IP editing is to gently poke people who you feel have been unfair to you in the eye a little bit; I can sort of understand this, but don't want to just assume that's why you're doing it. In many ways, it seems like IP editing would be more annoying than using an account, not less. I'm fairly agnostic about how far people should be allowed to "make" you do something; on the one hand, it feels like a kind of bullying; on the other hand, I hope you can see that it's not really being horribly dictatorial. So my main question is: why? --Floquenbeam (talk) 18:45, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
Notice that I am a non-participant in this edit war[edit]
It's easy to edit anonymously, just using an ip address. It's easy to create an account, and edit using that account, too. Using an account is more convenient if you are a frequent editor, or if you want to be able to collaborate more effectively with other users. Editing anonymously is more convenient if you don't edit often, or if you want to avoid collaboration. What you're doing now doesn't appear to be easy or convenient for anything. You might find it a lot easier to participate in a positive and useful way at Wikipedia if you choose either your registered account or anonymous editing. There's no good reason I can think of to have an account if you're going to be editing anonymously, and redirecting this account to an ip address would be confusing if a time comes when that ip address is used by someone else, or if you are editing from a different ip address. Would you consider stopping the redirect and choosing either to edit while logged in, or to edit anonymously? Not because I'm telling you to, not because there's a rule about it, but just because it will be easier and more convenient for you, and less confusing for people with whom you are collaborating? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 20:40, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
Misleading edit summaries[edit]Unless you intend to move AT&T to AT&T, Inc. over the redirect, your edit summaries for the last 20+ edits you've made are completely misleading. You're not disambiguating the links, you're doing the opposite. If you are plan to attempt to have AT&T moved to the AT&T, Inc., you should obtain consensus to move the page first, perform the move, and then change the links to the appropriate page to avoid redirects.

Sky AfD[edit]For your information, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of channels on Sky has been modified to include an expanded list of directly related articles. I'm just letting you know that this has happened so you may add or amend your comments in response. Many thanks, doktorb wordsdeeds 03:41, 22 October 2012 (UTC) Channel lineups AFD[edit]Hello, 12.153.112.21. I am contacting you because you recently left a comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of channels on Sky. I have just created another AfD, which also looks at articles with lists of channels. If you are interested, you can leave a comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/3rd bundle of channel lineups. I would also recommend making a Wikipedia user account! Thanks. -- Wikipedical (talk) 03:14, 25 October 2012 (UTC) |
