Would it be worth noting that if an unusually large number of editors appear to be using one IP, you can type the IP in to Wikipedia or WHOIS, where they may be labelled as proxies (used by multiple people in, say, an organization)? --<font color="#0000CC" face="Comic Sans MS">[[User:Hojimachong|'''Hojimachong''']]</font>^{<font color="00FFAA">[[User_Talk:Hojimachong|talk]]</font>} 21:21, 17 May 2007 (EDT)

:I mean that if you use checkuser and notice that 50 users are editing from it, then it probably isn't all the same person (if the accounts aren't all vandals). Therefore, blocking everybody who used this proxy would not be the best of ideas. And if it did happen, investigation to get them unblocked should be undertaken. --<font color="#0000CC" face="Comic Sans MS">[[User:Hojimachong|'''Hojimachong''']]</font>^{<font color="00FFAA">[[User_Talk:Hojimachong|talk]]</font>} 20:04, 19 May 2007 (EDT)
