Request for quick review of additions to the PatchGuard / Kernel patch protection page.

Hello,

You seem to have been doing the most maintaining of the PatchGuard page recently, so I figured I'd pose this request here. I made some choice improvements (IMHO of course :) to the article in question. However, if at all possible, it'd be nice to have someone else do a quick once-over of the changes as it seems to me to be a bit awkward to be contributing muchly to that article given WP:NOR and WP:POV concerns. (Or that's my outside view, being not having done all that much Wikipedia contributions myself to date. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.)

Anyways, would you mind taking a quick glance at the recent changes to see if you've got any objections on Wikipedia-related grounds?

I've attempted to ensure all my contributions on that page were cited, however, some of them are of course linking to materials that I had a hand in authoring or publishing outside of Wikipedia, hence my concern.

Your contributions look great, thanks :-)

As far as Wikipedia policy, since you made sure to back up your statements with published documents, I don't see any violation of WP:COS. Thanks again, and welcome to Wikipedia! —Remember the dot ^(talk) 03:28, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Bad block on 208.110.64.0/20

It seems that an admin (Ryulong) blocked this range at some point. I attempted to send a mail to him on the subject a day or two ago, didn't receive a response, so I am attempting to follow the blanket IP unblock procedure. This address space is assigned to a colo provider and covers a box I control. It likely also covers a number of other innocent customers of that colo provider who quite likely have nothing to do with the abuse that contributed to this block. Although I can still post from my residential connection, it would be great if the block can get fixed :-)

I left a note, to clarify the situation. This may or may not be doable. Mangojuice^talk 04:44, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Ipblockexempt granted

I have granted your account an exemption from IP blocking. This will allow you to edit through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in.

Please read the page Wikipedia:IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions.

Note in particular that you are not permitted to use this newly-granted right to edit Wikipedia via anonymous proxies, or disruptively. If you do, or there is a serious concern of abuse, then the right may be removed by any administrator.

I hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit successfully and without disruption.

IPBE

We're doing some early "spring cleaning" and it seems that you've been inactive in the last three months. Typically, IP rangeblocks do not last quite this long, so I've taken the liberty of removing the extraneous permission from your account. You should be fine, though if you experience problems due to IP blocks again, please re-request the permission.

If you're no longer editing for some reason, please feel welcome to do so again in the future! Kylu (talk) 05:10, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
