[edit] Investigation


Opening Statement
This particular IP has vandalized Wikipedia since 2006, with several 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 page presently lacks previous warnings which indicates that a user has altered the page and removed the pre-December 2007 warnings as the history shows [1].

Abstract
My conclusion is that that the following actions need to be taken. Contacting the ISP will provide a good outcome.

  • Contact the ISP regarding the abuse, specifically recent abuse with times and dates with hope of disabling the users access
    • Failing the ISP's, Ban the IP from editing with 1 year time intervals with no leniency for further offences after the initial ban.
