Requester comments
There are so many blocks on this IP that it is getting ridiculous, including three nearly-consecutive one year blocks. Jesse Viviano (talk) 21:08, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Abuse summary
This IP address is the source of a continuous stream of unproductive (even damaging) edits to Wikipedia articles of various categories. Most of the vandalism appears to be typical schoolchild humour, which may seem harmless at first but truly detracts from Wikipedia's value as a scholarly resource. One of Wikipedia's only "defense methods" is to block the IP address from editing. However, this may prevent edits from others on your network who may have positive contributions to make. Unfortunately, it appears that as soon as a block expires, the abuse resumes almost immediately (c.f. the last two one-year blocks) and our only recourse is to block the address again.
