I have blocked several IP addresses beginning with 205.188. Seeing the histories of these addresses, it appears that they are joint addresses that have been used for useful additions to the Wikipedia in the past. If someone wants to review the blocks and unblock them in a while, please do so, but I was trying to stem an attack.

It would be nice if we had a wildcard mechanism here.
I'm uncomfortable with blocking, even temporarily, such a broad address space as x.x.*.*, but I think that x.x.x.* would be fine.
These should always be treated with caution, as Zoe has here.
