Global block for User:172.56.0.0/23 and User:208.54.64.0/24 edit

Status:    In progress

Hi guys -- I'm requesting a global IP rangeblock to shut down abuse from a guy who has been harassing us for almost nine years. He's an obsessive harasser and spammer, who has now taken to posting offtopic chatter, spam, and rather psychotic harassment on many Wikimedia projects (simple, Wikiquote, Wikisource, Wikinews, as well as the German, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Japanese wikis, as well as others). He has made multiple threats of violence to me and others, most of which have been deleted (diffs viewable by those with admin rights on individual wikis). I'm reporting those to law enforcement and have already contacted the Foundation. Here is a recent an rather tame example of his abuse from this morning. I can provide a lot more diffs if you like, but Luxo's tool will show you hundreds of examples of his style. The ranges I'm asking for you to block are his T-Mobile; he also sometimes edits from Triton College and Dominican University in Chicago, as well as Staples, Best Buy, and other stores with display computers. I may make subsequent requests if this goes on. I have already blocked these ranges myself on enwiki where I am an admin. If you need any corroboration or further information, the Foundation knows about this and is backing me up. Thanks for any help, Antandrus (talk) 18:36, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
