RickK has banned IP 217.33.74.20 as a "returning vandal". That IP is used by a school and I have requested on the talk page that misuse should be reported to me so that I can deal with the people responsible. There has been no problems at all for over a month and RickK has not issued any warning on the talk page. I can see nothing wrong in the contributions so perhaps articles were created (and subsequently deleted) but other than that there is no indication as to why he has blocked it.
Doesn't RickK have 'email this user' enabled? If not, then he should not be blocking IPs since there is no obvious recourse for wrongly-blocked people to make note of that fact. Same goes for all admins.

There is currently no requirement for admins on the English Wikipedia to enable their email. I proposed adding this to the policy almost a year ago, but there was no support for it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Blocking_policy#Email_proposal
It is a requirement on the Simple English Wikipedia: http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bans_and_blocks
