 * Supporting evidence:
 * The above IPs have been edit warring to include the deprecated binary prefixes Ki, Mi etc in computing articles, characteristically with incivil and harassing edit summaries, and edit warring to remove comments in Thunderbird2's SSP case. Some blocks have already been issued - see above. Please establish whether any named accounts have been involved in this disruption and harassment, and also consider whether a rangeblock might be appropriate.

 * Can the edits relating to the very abusive edit summaries be removed from the edit history? Or this entire page deleted after it has been dealth with? Obviously I don't want to see such nasty and personal edit summaries repeated and archived by Google etc.Fnagaton 03:03, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Tom94022 and Thunderbird2 are ❌ to each other and to the IP address. The IP range 217.237.148.0/22 is anon-blocked for 1 month.  It is a closed proxy for use of the ISP's customers but the only anon edits are the vandal.  I can not find a registered user connected to this at this time.  Based on the most recent edits, you may wish to contact Deutch Telecom or the German law enforcement.  If they make a legal request to the Foundation, the Foundation can release additional IP information to them. Thatcher 01:11, 9 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Tom94022: I owe you—and hereby extend to you—a huge apology. I was at first quite convinced you were a sock of T-bird. But, upon studying the time of your edits, it became clearer to me you were exactly as you said you were: a real editor living on the U.S. west coast. I am very sorry for inconveniencing you.
