[Wikipedia-l] Banned user protection on the Meta?

[Andrew Alder]

It appears that a hard-banned user from the English Wikipedia is now active 
on the Meta, see

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump#Contributions_by_142.177.xxx.xxx

and

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump#Any_banned_user_protection_for_Meta?

(sorry I can't make the second link work properly, Eudora doesn't want to 
include the '?' in the link).

Any advice as to how to handle the Meta contributions would be appreciated. 
As I said in the Village Pump, there are some good points being made, just 
in the wrong place IMO. They are provocative and interesting, but IMO some 
of them don't belong in Wikipedia at all (even the Meta), and there's 
considerable risk of myself and others wasting time if we're not careful.

This is my first post to any Wikipedia mailing list. It was suggested on 
the Pump that it should be raised on the English Wikipedia list, but it 
seems to me to better fit the guidelines for this one.
