Investigation
Opening Statement This particular IP has vandalized Wikipedia since 2004, with in excess of 60+ warnings and messages on the users talk page[], including a notice that the user had been blocked several times before it shows that this user had all intent and still does to vandalize Wikipedia and to disrupt its success as much as possible. The user is using an ip that appears to be registered to the Government of Tasmania (probably Education Dept)[] and most likly thinks he is safe. I have good reason to beleave that the users of this IP also use IP 203.52.130.139, please see why >. Abstract My conclusion is that that the following actions need to be taken. Unfortuently because it is a goverment educational facility and no company abuse details are listed you will have to call general enquireies and get diverted to whoever you need to talk to, talking to the ISP is out of the question.

Reattempting Contact
Since it has been a while since anyone from Abuse reports has sent an abuse report to the responsible organization, I'm going to send another email to notify them of the abuse. If you need to contact me, please message me on my talk page. Thanks.

I've closed all requests that have this template, because a second attempt was done to contact the responsible organizations. The results were overall positive, as I did receive some replies that indicated that the responsible organization was going to look into the issue. The reports that were sent to ISPs all received automated responses, also promising to look into every case. Netalarm 15:28, 21 July 2009 (UTC)  Netalarm  04:46, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
