Anarchopedia has the same problems, but only with sites with English interface.
I didn't see where to put a IP list of them? http://wiki.chongqed.org/ interface is not friendly: I have to explain every IP and in this moment I have around 30 different IPs.
Any person interested in that problem can log in on http://meta.anarchopedia.org, http://eng.anarchopedia.org and http://hrv.anarchopedia.org. Good thing about Anarchopedia is that it has small number of articles and that only three or four pages (which don't exist) are the target. When the page is deleted, they are making the page again with different IP so a lot of IPs can be recognized (even it is possible that all of them exist in Wikimedia database).

If some developer is interested in that problem, (s)he can get dev status and shell account on Anarchopedia.
(I am going to see what is going on with Infoshop OpenWiki.)

The Encyclopedia Libre has been heavily attacked by a spam bot 2 days ago. It spammed about 500 pages with a change of ip for each edit. It took them 1 full day to restore it all.
As a consequence, log-in is now mandatory for contribution on EL.

One of IP which I noted on Anarchopedia made one spam on Infoshop OpenWiki today. This is all of spam there.
I have a list of 37 IP addresses and 95% of them spammed Anarchopedia today. I think that problem can be massive cracking of different systems. As I think, only two IP addresses have the same C class.

I'll give him the links. The guy who reported it is http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussion_Utilisateur%3AM.Romero_Schmidtke
I guess the spamers came to you because they met a wall here at WP ;-)

:) The number of IP addresses is not indefinite, so the advantage is on our side ;)
I am wandering why anti-spam implementation is not also IP based such email blacklists are? In this case I see that action is coordinated by some program (and, probably, by some person(s)). They can't have so many different dial-up, adsl and similar connections. I suppose that all of IPs represent one server-like machine on Internet. As they have a lot of IPs I think that some (or all?) of that machines are cracked. Maybe some viruses with wiki-edit possibilities exist, too? I think that this is general problem and that MediaWiki should have automatic anti-spam features like email servers have.
Definitely, Infoshop OpenWiki is under attack, too.

Sadly, that's not really the case in practice (or not if you trace the connection right to its source) - big ISPs have a whole host of servers which act only as proxies for normal users, with which server a user is connected through being varied as often as every page request. So IP blocking has to be done very carefully to avoid arbitrary blocking "every 20th AOL user" or the like.
