Why block the IP? What if it's from a library or school? This sounds like a too harsh response.
We frequently block libraries or schools for short times when used for vandalism. In some cases we block an entire school and take it up with the school authorities.
All you need do is sit on Recent Changes for a while, and you'll see patterns of edits which look remarkably like mischevious adolescents sitting around school computers out of sight of adult supervision and daring each other to be more and more audacious. We don't really need our articles containing unsourced information telling us that "Old Mr Bloggs is a poo-brain."
