 DON'T PANIC! This is Wikipedia. You do not have to log in to edit, and almost anyone can edit almost any article at any given time. This is shared by everyone who uses or ever has used this public computer, so you might receive messages on this page that were not intended for you. Not creating an account is quicker, more completely free in resource costs, and more entirely non-intrusive, than creating an account. It is easier to join the community and share what you know, and especially easier to get more incisive feedback from registered editors. Each of us volunteers in different ways. Some Wikipedians make it a hobby, and others just like to have their IP addresses ready for those times when they notice possible improvements. To maintain transparency, and a commitment to a free and open internet that anyone can use without registration, please consider the benefits and If necessary, log out now, and officially join Earth's Wikipedia project by editing from a naked IP address. Administrators: 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 or Template:School block. Public terminals and Wi-Fi hotspots may have set expiry times (usually in 30- or 60-minute intervals); consider this in deciding a block duration. In response to vandalism from this IP address, abuse reports may be sent to its network administrator for investigation; network administrators may be able to disable access to the network by offenders. |
