[edit] September 2005

So it's a shared IP, but it's still used only for childish vandalism, as far down as I've checked. I wouldn't be too worried about blocking it. Hello there! Next time you vandalize you'll be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Bishonen | talk 02:08, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits, such as those you made to Japanese family, are considered vandalism. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the hard work of others. Thanks. Buchanan-Hermit™..CONTRIBS..SPEAK!. 22:44, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

This is your final warning. If you continue to vandalize pages on Wikipedia, make inappropriate edits or personal attacks, including inappropriate or offensive edit summaries, or continue to cause problems in other ways, you will be banned from editing indefinitely.

Hi, This is a school IP address used by Catholic schools in Canberra and possibly by other Catholic systemic schools. Could I please confirm that logged in users from this IP address will still be able to edit wikipedia? I cna understand that you might have vandalism prolbems from hree - I fI used Wikipedia editing in class I would not do so until students had created their own accounts.

Cheers,

Under the current system, when an IP address/range is blocked the ability to make edits with a logged in account using that IP is also blocked. This policy is the subject of much debate and proposals for its improvement (see Blocking policy proposal). However, a change to the policy would only be a partial fix; a better solution would be for your school district's IT department to trace the vandalism to its source and hold accountable those who are responsible. All edits to Wikipedia are all time/date stamped. The corresponding network activity could be traced using the logfiles on the routers/firewalls, etc on the network. If a network is designed properly, the edits could be traced back to an individual computer (where at least a teacher or other staff could keep an eye on the machine), and perhaps even the students themselves (if they each have a user account, required to access the computer).
Realistically though there's little chance of this happening - it's all "pie in the sky" ideals. Most school districts don't have the time/resources to do this sort of work. On the plus side, blocking does not prevent viewing of wikipedia; the wealth of existing knowledge is available even to the worst vandal... --AbsolutDan (talk) 05:34, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your feedback. Like you say, I think it is fairly unlikely that our kindly IT staff will track this activity down. If I mention it they're more likely to block Wikipedia entirely (They have already done so for such dastardly domains as yahoo.com and msn.com). I'd be pleased to see logged in users from our IP able to edit articles - I have often though (although I've yet to plan the lessons) that Wikipedia editing could be valuable educational experience for my students. Thanks very much for your work and that of all your volunteers - Wikipedia has become a basic starting point for all research tasks my students complete, as valuable as the public library catalogue.
