The Anome blocked this IP for repeated policy violations for apparent copyright violations, and for vandalism -- see the talk page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:66.185.84.208
Thanks, Brian

I found this in my inbox today:
I'm a user who has the number 66.185.84.208. I've found myself blocked on the accusation of vandalism and plagarism. Can you please unblock me? Please note that this is the 4th time in 5 months and I hope this is the last time.
I quickly scanned through his contributions, and there are quite a few. Some of his new articles had a leftist bias, and he seems to be pro-Palestine, but I didn't see real vandalism. Some of his edits might be a little weird, though.
But, if he was really banned 4 times already, I probably missed something.

I thought we had established that non-logged-in users never get the "You have new messages" notice, and so never have their attention drawn to their IP's talk page?

Since he communicated with and has the confidence of Magnus perhaps Magnus should write back to encourage him to adopt a real user name while assuring him that his identity is actually safer if he does so. If it's impossible to have a way to contact somebody, it's to be expected that they will receive much less latitude than a logged-in user. We don't know if a compromise is even possible.
