Your host, cpc1-benw12-2-0-cust118.16-2.cable.virginm.net (80.0.228.119), is part of a pool of dynamically allocated addresses and is registered to Virgin Media. It may be shared by multiple users, so you might receive messages on this page that were not intended for you.
Applying an indefinite block to this IP is not appropriate, unless it is a soft block, because the IP address will later be reallocated to a different, unrelated, and unsuspecting user, thereby impairing access to Wikipedia in an inappropriate fashion. Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking.
The best approach is to determine the CIDR IP numerical address range and make a higher-level decision to soft-block the entire range. http://www.arin.net/ (for approximately North America) and related sites can help to identify that range. Caution is advised when applying a range block as other Wikipedians, both registered and otherwise, may be affected.
In the event of vandalism from this IP address, abuse reports can be sent to its network administrator for investigation.
Review contributions carefully if blocking this IP address or reverting its contributions. If a block is needed, administrators should consider a soft block using Template:Anonblock.
Network administrators, to monitor this IP address for vandalism, can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.
You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but if you wish to acquire additional privileges, you can simply create a named account. It's free, requires no personal information, and lets you:
OK, well that's really a polite request, not an order! :) But I really think you should (see welcome blurb above). Because you edited an article I watch, I went through all your edits and you are doing great work. I know it's not essential to get an account but it's really not a bad idea either - please consider it? Anyway, thanks again for your work and Happy Editing!

You have made numerous changes to dates in various articles without citing a source or explaining where you got the information. As we have numerous vandals doing exactly the same thing, I am reverting all such edits. If you wish to restore any of the changes, you will need to provide sources and/or reasonable explanations. - SummerPhDv2.003:29, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at July 1967. Again, you will need to provide sources and/or explain the changes you are making. If you contine, you will be blocked from editing.SummerPhDv2.016:14, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You have been warned previously about unsourced/unexplained changes. You chose to ignore those warnings, responding with a personal attack. You were blocked as a result. You are now back with more unsourced/unexplained date changes. If you continue, your blocks will be longer and longer. This will continue until you either explain/source your edits, leave the project or are indefinitely blocked from editing. - SummerPhDv2.000:30, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Anonymous users from this IP address have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for persistently making disruptive edits.
Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.
Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary.
