I found found the Wikipedia abuse report page after a long time of searching. I am one of the editors who have constantly been battling the user 86.143.54.217. This is his latest IP. He has been edit warring, adding gamecruft, original research, and stalking the articles of people who try revert his edits, like yours truly. I have fired off three abuse emails to BT Internet in Britain, to which all his IPs resolve. I finally received an answer, requesting server logs for them to be able to identify the user, but I am not an administrator and frankly, at this point we have tried so many things - He cannot be range-blocked, edit-filters won't work, either, and he does not communicate, so any and all warnings and general communication is ignored. Now, I don't really understand the abuse page. You will see all of his IP addresses in the history pages of his recently edited articles; those are the ones he keeps coming back to force his edits through on, and I seem to be the only one who even bothers at reverting him further at this point. Is it realistic by any stretch of the imagination that I could somehow receive server logs, with time stamps including the time zone in which they were recorded? BT Internet are apparently notoriously hard to contact, and this whole process, however long it might take, could be circumvented if I could just have copies of server logs for each of the times the anonymous edits were made. But given the beaurocracy and indifference encountered so far, I have a feeling that is not going to be possible. Either way, I need help to jump through this latest hoop, and I was hoping you could since you were listed on the abuse response site. Eik Corell ( talk) 15:25, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
I see that you are conducting an abuse investigation for IP 207.63.212.2 ( talk · contribs), registered to Brother Rice High School (Chicago). This is to let you know that I have just blocked the IP for one year, following steady renewed vandalism after a previous six-month block ended in September.

Please do not revert me again, The tone of that thread is one that will drive editors to rage quit AR, hence a new slate back on the topic of the revamp is warrented. Please come on IRC and we can discuss this in a more real time manner. If you have insecurities over wether or not people care about AR, then you are more than welcome to leave but don't stall the revamp by consistently raising that jimbo doesn't seem to care. Momentum is our ally in all this, understand that once we have the project moving steadily, then they will take interest. But they will not jump into a project that is currently questioning its own existence. «l| Promethean ™|l» (talk) 04:26, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
