The ip address is owned by the Alief ISD in Houston,Texas. The ip addresses are proable sockpuppets of the long-term vandal user:Mmbabies. I filed a abuse report on a 68.xxx.xx ip on 3 February 2008 . These ip address where then used the day aftward. Its kind of akward that it could be a average-joe student using these ip address on the account the day they were used was on a sunday afternnon and early morning hours of monday. So I dont think some kid waltz in there. I want a contactor or investiagator to contact the Alief ISD or the abuse number for its Internet providers to explain the abuse done by this Wikipedia:Long_term_abuse/Mmbabies joker user:Mmbabies. I have a theory that Mmbabies is either using a WI-FI connection around the area of the school or has a key for the school. Somone take this matter very seriously. --Rio de oro (talk) 01:43, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

- I agree it does not look like go-pchs-njrotc. Rio we must be careful and not jump the gun with school ips. This is one of the weaknesses with some admin's and editors on wiki. Act first then maybe ask questions later. But thank you for keeping your eye out.Thright (talk) 04:20, 10 March 2008 (UTC)thright

Investigation
This Investiagion is in Progress
It is Prometheus's: Top Priority Investigation
Prelude
This particuler IP has vandalised Wikipedia since 2005, with several warnings and messages on the users talk page, including a notice that the user had been blocked several times before it shows that this user had all intent and still does to vandalise wikipedia and to disrupt it's success as much as possible. The user page presently lacks previous warnings which indicates that a user has altered the page and removed the warnings.
Abstract
My conclusion is that that the following actions need to be taken.
- Contact the education facility regarding the abuse, specifcaly recent abuse with times and dates with hope of disableing the users access
- Failing the education facility's co-operation, Ban the IP from editing with 1 year time intervals with no lenancy for further offeces after the intital ban
