Prelude

[edit]
  • 205.196.178.196
  • 205.196.178.200

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)[reply]
