Hello,

I am a volunteer editor of Wikipedia, a multilingual project to create a complete and accurate open content encyclopedia. The English- language version may be viewed on the Web at http://en.wikipedia.org/. A fundamental component of Wikipedia is that it may be edited by anyone, so long as their edits benefit the goal of creating an encyclopedia. This approach has the downside that it exposes us to large-scale vandalism, something that we are always trying to combat. We do this by blocking abusive users from editing, either temporarily or permanently.

An IP address registered to you, 195.194.63.203, has repeatedly vandalised pages on Wikipedia. You may see a full documentation of the vandalism at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Abuse_reports/195.194.63.203 I'm writing to you to ask if you can inform the user that such behavior is not acceptable and goes against any code of academic ethics. Any other help you can give us would be greatly appreciated.

Based on this edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=The_Grange_School,_Aylesbury&diff=prev&oldid=237280969 I believe that the person/people behind the vandalism in question attend(s) The Grange School, Aylesbury. There is a long history of vandalism from this address, dating back to June of 2008, and the address has been blocked multiple times. You can view the times, dates and content of the edits at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/195.194.63.203

Please note that while I write out of concern for Wikipedia that I am not an official contact. If you wish to make an official contact to Wikipedia, please use one of the resources listed at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contact_us

If you have any questions or would like further clarification, please feel free to contact me at this email address.

Thank you very much for your time,

Terrillja

Hi Terrillja,

As part of the provision of the JANET network linking universities and research sites in the United Kingdom, we operate a computer security incident and advisory coordination service.

I'll contact the site responsible for this IP and ask them to make the abuse stop.
