please do not block whole ip ranges next time dear glen usually i do not log in to edit in the english wikipedia i know about the advantages but i would like to let you know that there are many people out there who are doing good edits without logging in today i experienced a blocking of my ip after changing it several times i understood that you were actually blocking an ip range that was affecting nearly all german users of one provider that is serving more than mio users now that you know about this i hope you are less strict with blocking such a big ip range in future thank you mario
