Wikimania in Atlanta![edit]

Hi! I noticed your involvement on U.S. South-related articles, categories and WikiProjects, and I wanted to let you know about a bid we're formulating to get next year's Wikimania held in Atlanta! If you would like to help, be sure to sign your name to the "In Atlanta" section of the Southeast team portion of the bid if you're in town, or to the "Outside Atlanta" section if you still want to help but don't live in the city or the suburbs. If you would like to contribute more, please write on my talk page, the talk page of the bid, or join us at the #wikimania-atlanta IRC chat on freenode.org. Have a great day!

P.S. While this is a template for maximum efficiency, I would appreciate a note on my talk page so I know you got the message, and what you think. This is time-sensitive, so your urgent cooperation is appreciated. :) Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 09:39, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Confused...[edit]
...as to why you are requesting unblocks for accounts that are not yours. See User talk:208.53.139.121. You are clearly not affected by this block. Additionally, if you are concerned that the open proxy block is in error, see WP:OP and request that it be rechecked there. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 03:02, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
About the unblock[edit]
I am the owner-operator of 208.53.139.121 (epicsol.org) and it is hosted at FDC Servers, an ISP which is in strong disfavor here at wikipedia because of their lax policies about abusive hosts. Kitambi is one of my shell login users. My users might their password-authenticated ssh login accounts to edit wikipedia. -- JFN -- 09 July 2009 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jfn (talk • contribs) 16:02, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
