User talk:MER-C

Hello MER-C! Welcome to Wikivoyage.

To help get you started contributing, we've created a tips for new contributors page, full of helpful links about policies and guidelines and style, as well as some important information on copyleft and basic stuff like how to edit a page.

If you are a Wikipedian then you may notice some differences in policies and the style of our articles. These include:

• NPOV → be fair (not quite the same thing!)
• be bold → plunge forward
• Village pump → travellers' pub
• External links → We do not use a separate external links section, but incorporate primary links only into the text itself.
• sandbox → graffiti wall
• stub notes → Article status notes

It may also be very useful for you to check out Wikivoyage:Welcome, Wikipedians. If you need help, take a look at Project:Help, or else post a message in the travellers' pub or on my talk page. Thanks for contributing! JamesA ^>talk 13:27, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Wikivoyage:User_ban_nominations#Other_IPs

Hi! Just seen your comment that the suspected IPs are from the same ISP. Could this mean that e.g. IB has a corporate account which is provided by one company or could it be a coincidence that just several e.g. Verizon users from LA acted unilaterally? Jc8136 (talk) 12:56, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

It could also be one person on a dynamic IP who pulled the plug on his router a few times. MER-C (talk) 13:27, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

In case of dynamic Ip, shouldn't the location be the same or is LA so dense that it can switch in the Greater LA area? jan (talk) 13:32, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

IP based geolocation can only be trusted down to the city level (and can sometimes be worse). MER-C (talk) 03:17, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

Additions

Thanks for doing the wikipedia: article name addition - it has alerted me to a number of issues for Western Australian articles that I have realised need extensive work done - cheers (deleted earlier comment - which simply showed my ignorance of things at that point) sats (talk) 10:58, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
