Personally I don't agree with the line "We simply cannot allow an institution that encourages massive plagiarism to contribute to our efforts at this time." Actually, I do agree with that line, I don't agree with the characterization that CSU euncourages plagarism, and I think that this is needlessly inflamatory. Our goal with this and these types of notices should be informative, they should be invitations to cooperate rather than reprimands. I would chose something more alont the lines of "We would appreciate your assistance in curtailing this particular person's activities, we would like to resolve this situation as soon as possible so normal usage can resume for the rest of your clients currently inconvenienced by the block." (Okay, the writing sucks, but that is closer to what I think we should be saying). - TheDaveRoss 20:56, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
I will start a boilerplate mailing so that future mailings of this sort have some basis to work on, please ammend and comment as you see fit. - TheDaveRoss 05:04, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
To: abuse@ISP Subj: IP Abuse report: IP Addresses in question; date or dates of abuse. To the relevant personal of ISP; We at the *English Wiktionary*, a subsidiary project of the *Wikimedia foundation* are writing to inform you of certain specific activities perpetrated by one or more of your clients or other persons accessing Wiktionary through IP adresses registered to ISP (as listed below). We have taken such action as we have deemed necessary to stem the immediate activities (as described below), and would appreciate your assistance in preventing future occurances of such actions, which result in inevitable inconveniences for both the Wiktionary community and the remainder of your clients. Please feel free to reply to me at this email address (which can be confirmed on my *userpage at Wiktionary* ), or at my *user talk page* (this option will allow for communication to the community at large). We thank you in advance for your cooperation and assistance in this matter, and hope we can resolve this quickly and to the satisfaction of all involved parties. Sending Sysop http://en.wiktionary.orghttps://dictious.com/en/User:Sending_Sysop IP Abuse report: The following IPs under your responsibility engaged in vandalism to http://en.wiktionary.org on DATE and TIME: * IPS Their activities were... Their activities took place on these pages... The links below are to some of the edit history on the site, showing the exact times of the vandalism and diffs of the vandalism committed. History is not displayed for entries that have simply been deleted. PAGES... Action taken: The immediate action was to block the specific IP addresses, but due to persistant activities on the part of the vandals we blocked IP RANGE.
It's neato we have time to send block letters to admins. However, I think we should also draft a block letter that pissed off blocked users can send to their admins. I can't imagine too many IP admins giving a hoot what some website operator (and that's all we are) has to say about what their users do on our website. They're too busy with software updates, hackers, spam, spyware, etc. On the other hand, if an IP admin's own users start flooding him/her with well worded e-mails about being denied full access due to misbehavior originating from an IP under their control, then they might do something about it. In order to mobilize these users, we need to 1) define a block, 2) explain the reason for the block, 3) encourage blocked users to take action, 4) provide a template for them to use, and 5) give them the necessary contact information. Such a template might look something like this:
This information should go on the talk page for any IP address with a block longer than one day. We already know the power of our volunteers to create a world-class, shared resource. Let's harness this same power to help solve the vandalism problem. Rklawton 12:29, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Shouldn't the boiler template contain a place for an inline log of the vandalism (a contribution log containing the exact time with appropriate timestamp) considering that many ISPs will discard abuse reports that don't contain a log INLINE (example: Road Runner)? 67.233.7.159 22:29, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
Please block User:Lig Is True 3. 71.66.97.228 03:15, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for blocking. 71.66.97.228 05:21, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process.
It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.
Not a useful page; only history was Vildricianus (talk • contribs) starting the page, a report of an abusive sock that migrated from Wikipedia, and Netalarm (talk • contribs) attempting to revamp it. Most of these requests should be deferred to the duplicate page at Wikipedia, since those are the only ones that do any actual damage, crosswiki or otherwise.

User:Chuck Entz reverted the page Module:number list/data/en without giving a reason. I asked for the reason at the talk page User_talk:Chuck_Entz#About_the_recent_revert_on_Module:number_list/data/en, but User:Chuck Entz did not reply and simply blocked me from editing modules.
