Immediate IP block needed

You protected a number of pages from this type of editing in the past (please don't protect them again for now, though): 172.56.31.31 Mdrnpndr (talk) 14:58, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

@Mdrnpndr: For now, I have blocked the IP address. However, that is unlikely to be effective, as experience shows that the same person will just come back on a different IP address. Article protection is the only thing which has any chance of working in this situation, so why do you ask me not to do that? The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 15:15, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Because article protection is a very blunt instrument, and this is especially true for the pages in question, which receive far more (constructive) IP edits than registered ones. Mdrnpndr (talk) 15:21, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

@Mdrnpndr: Well, you may be right about that overall, but I have just checked the last 50 edits to four of the affected articles, and for three of those there were significantly more registered edits than constructive IP edits, and for the other one there were similar numbers of both. However, on all of them the proportion of constructive IP edits was quite high, whether more than registered edits or not, so I agree that protection is undesirable unless really necessary. How about pending changes as a compromise solution? The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 15:33, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

If the user in question comes back with a different IP, I agree that pending changes should be applied to any affected articles. They may decide to give up and go away, though. Mdrnpndr (talk) 16:09, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

JacksonViking

You indeff'd this guy back on 24 July, 2015 and it sure looks to me like he's back as an IP at Jackson High School (Michigan). Same content, similar edit summaries. Appreciate it if you'd take a look and advise. Thanks. Can't imagine SPI would be much use at this late date. John from Idegon (talk) 07:47, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

On digging further, another contribution from one of the IP addresses to Elwood Reid seems strong enough DUCK to me for a block, but it would need to be a range as he has used at least two IP addresses in the 35.2..... range. John from Idegon (talk) 07:55, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
