Why block the IP? What if it's from a library

school? This sounds like a too harsh response.
We frequently block libraries or schools for short times when used for
vandalism. In some cases we block an entire school and take it up with the
school authorities.
All you need do is sit on Recent Changes for a while, and you'll see
patterns of edits which look remarkably like mischevious adolescents
sitting around school computers out of sight of adult supervision and
daring each other to be more and more audacious. We don't really need
our articles containing unsourced information telling us that "Old Mr
Bloggs is a poo-brain."
