Administrators: review contributions carefully if blocking this IP address or reverting its contributions. If a block is needed, administrators should consider a soft block using Template:Anonblock or Template:School block. Public terminals and Wi-Fi hotspots may have set expiry times (usually in 30- or 60-minute intervals); consider this in deciding a block duration. In response to vandalism from this IP address, abuse reports may be sent to its network administrator for investigation; network administrators may be able to disable access to the network by offenders.
