I just blocked 217.5.141.103. Some sysop on the German Wiki please do the same. The block should be removed in a few hours, or sooner if he gets the message.

Stop, this user makes in the German wikipedia absolutely valuable contributions (see f.e. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gew%FCrzvanille)
I suppose he is just not aware of how to place interlanguage links correctly, but he seems to be goodwilled and no vandal.

I didn't say he was a vandal, and I unblocked him as soon as he acknowledged the message. We need a better way to contact IPs, but blocking is all we have now.

I'm curious, is this how we want Wikipedia to work? No trial? No reasons stated? Just "block him now!", really? I find this problematic. Am I the only one?

Hu, no. You are not. Actually, what I did was to delete these pages... He didnot put many of these, I had no way to know who he was, nor to communicate with him. I did not want him to create endless empty pages, unlikely to be filled before long (architecture stuff, we have no architect around !) I thought maybe he would notice...maybe is that a wrong move, dunno...
There's one thing I know though.
It is now more than a week that the french wikipedia is basically not usuable in the evening. All the usual evening participants don't participate any more. *This* is a *problem* to me.

You're not the only one. Some of this stuff is starting to look like cowboy justice.
