Discussion

This IP was blocked some time ago for vandalism:

1st block: 3 November 2007 2nd block: 4 November 2007 3rd block: 17 November 2007

He has now come back with a clear instance of personal abuse, as seen on this edit:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=W._H._Auden&diff=192996141&oldid=192995833

He has made at least one other edit that restores material treated as vandalism earlier. But the personal abuse seems more serious, and continues the abuse he left on user talk pages earlier. Macspaunday (talk) 22:39, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Their response
An auto reply was recieved from abuse@att.net. It appears a robot forwarded the complaint to abuse@comcast.net as another bounce message was recieved from the Comcast mailer daemon. I can try again at a later time, it appears the Comcast abuse department is temporarily down.

 * Sigh! Would it be possible to block the IP from Wikipedia for a while? Macspaunday (talk) 19:16, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't see the need; there hasn't been any vandalism since February. Please keep in mind that it is rare for Comcast, the ISP who owns the IP range, to send an actual human reply even if action is taken. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 23:59, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

There's been no vandalism since February. I'm guessing that A) this vandal was disconnected or suspended by the Comcast Abuse Dept, B) this vandal has a dynamic IP address and is now vandalizing using a different IP, or C) this vandal has learned her/his lesson.
