Before reporting any suspected open proxies here, please remember that not all vandals are open proxies and vandals should not get an automatic check here; remember that it takes the volunteers here about 5-10 minutes to give a request a thorough check. The bot that clerks this page can sometimes detect if an IP is an open proxy; however, it cannot confirm that an IP is not an open proxy. |

| If you've been blocked as an open proxy, please see: Help:blocked.
The multiwiki MetaProject on open proxies seeks to identify, verify and block open proxies and anonymity network exit nodes. To prevent abuse or vandalism, only proxy checks by verified users will be accepted. All users are welcome to discuss on the talk page, report possible proxies, or request that a blocked IP be rescanned. |

Reason: These three IPs edited Jacob Leisler in rapid succession in a behavioral pattern consistent with banned user Jvolkblum, who has an extensive history of using open proxies. --Orlady (talk) 19:45, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

- user - talk - edits - block - log - rangeblocks - RBL - whois - google - see User talk:Dr Gwapo. Block is from July '08 so worth rechecking (block settings were changed recently, then changed back, but I don't know if the issue was rechecked.) Apparently this is a dynamically-assigned IP address, which makes me think it probably isn't an open proxy. Mangojuicetalk 14:37, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
