This IP address has produced dozens of edits over the past six months, all of which (without exception) have been acts of vandalism, often involving the purile insertion of obscenities.

Discussion
 * Accept for investigation. Hopefully we can get a positive response from the ISP on this so we can remove the 6-month block currently active on this IP (in case it's shared, etc.) --Darkwind (talk) 11:47, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Initial Report
Overall, this IP has been responsible for 220 article edits from 15 June 2006 through the present. The most active month was August of 2006 with 55 total edits. During that active month, the IP was blocked twice, and in total has been blocked 9 times including the present 6 month block, set to expire in February 2008. Since the vandalism resumed immediately upon expiration of the last block, this abuse reports case was opened, and this will be brought to the attention of the ISP.

Abuse Summary

 * Investigated by.


 * Between June 12, 2007 (shortly after the last block on this IP address expired) and August 13, 2007 (when the current block was established), this IP address was responsible for 18 edits to 15 different pages.
 * Between June 12 and August 6, the edits primarily occurred between 04:00 and 05:30 UTC. From August 6 to August 13, the edits occurred mostly between 23:50 and 01:40 UTC.
 * All but 2 of the 18 edits were common vandalism.
 * The remaining 2 edits were good-faith changes to existing article text, which leads me to believe that a long-term block on this IP address may be affecting valuable contributors.

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  04:54, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Merging with talk page
It is apparent that the report hasn't really gone anywhere, and the IP came back tonight to vandalize. I have instated a one year block for the time being (I didn't realize this was under investigation until afterwards). Please feel more than free to remove and/or tweak the block as you deem fit.
