Edits from this IP
-127.0.0.1 IS EVERYONE! Me, You, Osama, George Bush, etc etc.. I was going to joke about banning this "vandal", but I just noticed that somehow actual contributions have been made through this IP. Wow. That blew my mind. --Nintendorulez talk 00:37, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
-- Wow, that's hilarious, maybe an ip spoofer? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.3.229.131 (talk) 07:24, 26 November 2006
- Someone spoofing their IP would not be able to establish a TCP handshake, which means they would not be able to establish a connection to Wikipedia's HTTP server. They would just send the SYN packets and never receive a reply (in fact the packets would likely never reach their intended destination in this case, as well-configured routers along the way would drop a packet with a source in 127.0.0.0/8).

-In Soviet Russia, 127.0.0.1 is YOU!!! 94.195.49.119 (talk) 03:32, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
IP for Localhost
This is, in fact, an IP address. The difference is, each computer has 127.0.0.1 until a DHCP assigns you an IP address. 127.0.0.1 cannot be acessed from the outside internet. The only purpose of that address is for your own usage. Technically. 127.0.0.1 gets used throughout the internet, such as:
- Installation of internet software by the server, not by remote.
- The forum test post you see after an installation. The IP responsible for that is 127.0.0.1
So it is a private IP address, not meant for general public connection. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AOL Alex (talk • contribs) 21:59, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
- Almost correct. 127.0.0.1 is indeed a valid IP address, and each computer with a working TCP/IP stack does indeed have that address, but not just "until a DHCP [server] assigns you an IP address". Actually, what happens is that each computer has, alongside its real physical network interfaces, a "loopback interface", which is a virtual interface that echoes back any data sent to it. This interface is typically assigned the IP address 127.0.0.1. In fact, any address in the range 127.0.0.0/8 block would be correct as per IANA reserved addresses (see RFC 3330), but 127.0.0.1 is the de facto standard (and some implementations only allow 127.0.0.1 anyway). So yes, each computer can reach itself through the IP address 127.0.0.1, but no, this address does not depend on DHCP leases, nor will it cease to exist if/when the computer obtains a DHCP lease on one of its physical interfaces.
- As to the question of whether 127.0.0.1 can be accessed externally, it is actually not as straightforward as it might sound. It is possible to manipulate the fields in an IP packet's header; in particular, it is possible to send an IP packet through a physical interface with a source IP of 127.0.0.1, and a target IP set to the IP of another machine's physical interface. If the destination is on the same subnet as the sender, the packet will indeed reach the target computer, on its physical interface (if it's in a different subnet, e.g. if it's somewhere on the Internet, it will most likely never reach its target as most routers will be configured not to forward packets with a source in 127.0.0.0/8). Once the target system receives the packet, what it does with it depends on how the system is configured (whether it is set up to forward packets or not, whether it has a firewall on it, etc). It is entirely possible for the system to be configured (intentionally or otherwise) in a way such that it will accept the packet and pass it to the protocol stack as though it had come from within.

Odd link from external site
Ok I'm not very computer literate but i don't know what this means: I was bored and did a search for my own user name, and I came across this this wikipedia mirror site. Do you notice how it says "you have new messages"? I'm assuming that the notice is personal to the user right? Well the 'new messages' link go to this talk page. What does this mean? -Taco325i 02:13, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- I would say it doesn't mean anything. It's probably just some wierd configuration on their end, unrelated to Wikipedia. -- kenb215 talk 02:21, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Nonsense of Wikipedia:Changing attribution for an edit/Denni
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Wikipedia:Changing attribution for an edit/Denni, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Wikipedia:Changing attribution for an edit/Denni provides no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Wikipedia:Changing attribution for an edit/Denni, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello 127.0.0.1, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Charlie Corwin has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
- Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Apparition11 Complaints/Mistakes 00:51, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Please unblock me, I was only trying to correct what I thought were errors on the Horror films of the 1930s page. I have been a huge contributor to Wikipedia for 5 years now, although I don't have an account. I was not vandalizing the site, I was just trying to fix some errors I saw. If you don't want me to edit this page, I won't. But please unblock me from editing? Frank Verzyl
- @Reaper Eternal and Huon: Per User:127.0.0.1 (the page, not the editor), it seems the consensus is to never hard block this IP, given that edits from this IP could be the sign of a server misconfiguration and a sign of a bigger problem with Wikimedia hardware. (I'm familiar with this IP myself; this IP represents a "connection loop", which is represented by the NIC on most devices when it has no connectivity.) Has this changed?

This is the only warning you will receive about ownership of articles, which you showed at Everywhere. The next time you continue to disruptively edit Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Yes, it's just a joke Krett12 (talk) 01:10, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

I award you this yummy barnstar for being the most interesting IP I have ever seen. The other half goes to me, even though I'm not an IP. Peter Sam Fan 16:34, 31 March 2016 (UTC) |
