[WikiEN-l] Blocked IP list is inaccurate

[Andrew Lih]

I'm not sure what is meant by "incorrect," can you elaborate?

Multiple blocks can be made for a given IP, and the time can be
changed to whatever period desired. But all blocks for that IP will be
cleared upon the earliest expiration of the block. At least that was
the latest behaviour described by Tim Starling on IRC.
