Now blocked for edit warring at English Defence League per this 3RR complaint. The same IP was blocked earlier by Procseebot, and a Google search for the IP suggests it has operated as an open proxy on port 8080. If it's confirmed as a proxy, this would justify a longer block.

These IP numbers are assigned to Imperial College in London where I am a member of staff. Prior to the recent block by User:AGK, users who had logged in were allowed to edit – but now although they can log in, they cannot edit. The IT department of the college attempts to tightly control access to the internet and would not deliberate allow an "open proxy". Would it be useful for me to approach the IT department of the college or perhaps to provide contact details to an admin? The college allows students and staff to log into the college system using the VPN protocol. Could this appear as an open proxy? Is it possible to be more restrictive in the block? Is it possible to let users who have logged in to edit? The block covers many thousand computers – and I would hope that some of the staff and students contribute constructively to Wikipedia.

Unblock requested from UTRS, which I diverted to ACC. This is a strange thing. I'm not seeing the proxy, and I don't understand why an open proxy would be AO ABC.

There is an unblock request at User talk:Ck786 for a proxy block on this range, which I imposed. It is certainly used by proxy servers, see for example here. It is also certain that addresses in this range have been the source of some disruptive editing on Wikipedia, and also spam and other problems off Wikipedia, as I found recorded on various internet sites, but I don't have time to go back and find the evidence again now. Whether it is an open proxy, however, I cannot be sure. Perhaps someone with more knowledge of proxies can check. JamesBWatson ( talk) 22:35, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
