Description

Hello,

Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) will be having a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon on Saturday, March 25, 2017 from 10am to 4pm EST.

Here are the IP addresses we would like a temporary lift of account creation IP caps for:
129.21.255.181
129.21.255.182
129.21.255.183
129.21.254.146
129.21.179.6
129.21.179.7

RIT's network is a little complicated but these 6 addresses will cover the IP addresses that might see multiple user account creations from visitors to our event.

We expect to have approximately 100 people attend the Edit-a-thon.

This event is for Wikipedia Editing. We are specifically editing en.wikipedia.org.

Here is the Wikipedia Meetup page we created for it, but we also have an internal (RIT webpage) & Facebook page.
