I'm not sure what is meant by "incorrect," can you elaborate?
Multiple blocks can be made for a given IP, and the time can be
changed to whatever period desired. But all blocks for that IP will be
cleared upon the earliest expiration of the block. At least that was
the latest behaviour described by Tim Starling on IRC.

The blocked IP list in wikipedia is inaccurate.
The dates listed for blocks to expire are incorrect.
Meaning that they are not tied to the block mechanism.
An admin can block an IP address for a period of time
beyond the expiry date listed on the blocked IP page.
I am not familiar with the mechanism. Does the block
page allow one to enter periods of time beyond a
single day (seems to be the default)?
Can one block for a period of time different then the
comment indicates?
Can one extend blocks without updating the comment.
