Can you comment on this block? You may know of relevant facts which I haven't seen, but for what it's worth here are my observation. It is a block on a huge range of IP addresses. While there has been some vandalism, there have also been a significant proportion of perfectly constructive editing. I see nothing to suggest that one person has been using IP addresses scattered across the whole range, or even across a significant part of it. On the contrary, I see evidence that particular editors have stuck to individual IP addresses in the range over a significant time. (To give just one example, it is abundantly clear from an examination of Special:Contributions/101.98.104.241 that that IP address has been used by one person since July 2017.) There has not been a massive amount of vandalism from IP addresses spread across the whole range over the last few days. I can't see anything at all which explains a block on the whole range, but I have known situations where a block has been made for a perfectly good reason that I didn't see, so any clarification from you will be welcome.

 * I see substantial vandalism from this range, but it appears I have underestimated the number of people who make good-faith edits from here, and so I will remove the block. Apologies to 101.98.36.136. I'll use individual blocks in this range in future.- gadfium 03:35, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
