For static IPs, such blocks should initially last <b>24 hours</b>, but repeat violators may be blocked for a maximum of <b>one month</b>; there are various rules of thumb that sysops follow in how much to extend the blocks of habitual vandals, none of which are formal policy. In general, casual vandals should be warned twice before being blocked, though warnings are not usually given for deliberate vandalism intended to discredit Wikiquote or serve an activist agenda. See <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dealing_with_vandalism" class="extiw" title="w:Wikipedia:Dealing with vandalism">dealing with vandalism</a> for overall policy. </p><p>Logged-in users that do essentially nothing but vandalism may also be blocked for the similar time periods, initially <b>24 hours</b> for most cases, and next longer, but here <b>permanently</b> at maximum. Some vandalisms are considered disruptive and malicious enough to be subject to the permanent banning on sight, even if it is their first edit from a given account. See also <a href="#Disruption">the section on disruption</a>. However, user accounts that perform a mixture of valid edits and vandalism should not be blocked in this manner. </p><p>Blocks should not be used against isolated incidents of vandalism. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Impersonation" data-mw-thread-id="h-Impersonation-When_blocks_may_be_used"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Impersonation-When_blocks_may_be_used"></span>Impersonation<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Impersonation-When_blocks_may_be_used"></span></h3></div> <p>Usernames that are designed to impersonate legitimate users may be blocked immediately and <b>indefinitely</b>.

Use common sense. If the suspected impersonators are vandalizing, flaming other users, or otherwise acting with malice, then they should be blocked immediately. If they are making legitimate edits, they should be told of the possible confusion and encouraged to change usernames. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Inappropriate_usernames" data-mw-thread-id="h-Inappropriate_usernames-When_blocks_may_be_used"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Inappropriate_usernames-When_blocks_may_be_used"></span>Inappropriate usernames<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Inappropriate_usernames-When_blocks_may_be_used"></span></h3></div> <p>Offensive, deliberately confusing, and other inappropriate usernames are not allowed, and sysops may block accounts with such usernames at their discretion.

While it is permitted and familiar on Wikimedia project to block open proxies permanently, there is theoretically no assurance they remain so eternally, and most open proxies, zombie machines moreover, are fixed within a reasonable term.

Such disruption is to be objectively defined by specific policies and may include changing other users' signed comments or making deliberately misleading edits. Users should be warned that they are violating policy before they are blocked. For dynamic IPs, such blocks should last 24 hours. For static IPs and user names, such blocks should initially last 24 hours, but repeat violators may be blocked for a maximum of one month, if their disruptions are not considered as habitual. </p><p>Sysops may block IP addresses for a maximum of six months in those cases: </p> <ul><li>The IP addresses in concern make disruptions for a certain term repeatedly (weeks, or even months).</li> <li>The IP addresses in concern are known as disruptive on multiple Wikimedia wikis.</li> <li>The results of <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CheckUser" class="extiw" title="m:CheckUser">CheckUser</a> investigation suggest their cross-wiki disruptions or long-term disruptions on this wiki.</li></ul> <p>Sysops may also block new user accounts that make lots of disruptive edits, for any length of time or permanently, at their discretion. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sock_puppet" class="extiw" title="w:Wikipedia:Sock puppet">Sockpuppets</a> that were created to violate Wikiquote policy should be blocked permanently. However, blocks should not be used against isolated incidents of disruption from IP addresses nor against user accounts that make a mixture of disruptive and useful edits. </p><p>Reincarnations of blocked disruptive users will be reblocked if they continue being disruptive, or if they edit in a way which suggests they are likely to continue being disruptive. </p><p>Blocks under this provision are almost always <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Controversial_blocks" class="extiw" title="w:Wikipedia:Controversial blocks">controversial</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Elastic_clause" data-mw-thread-id="h-Elastic_clause-When_blocks_may_be_used"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Elastic_clause-When_blocks_may_be_used"></span>Elastic clause<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Elastic_clause-When_blocks_may_be_used"></span></h3></div> <p>Sysops are chosen for their good judgement and ability to act in Wikiquote's best interests. As long as the block is not punitive, a sysop may block a user or IP address for more time than outlined above or for a different offense than outlined above. If this matter becomes an issue, the blocked user may e-mail another administrator or Wikiquote contact team at <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="mailto:info-en@wikiquote.org">info-en@wikiquote.org</a> and the matter may be brought to <a href="/wiki/Wikiquote:AN" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikiquote:AN">the Administrators' noticeboard</a> pending a consensus of the community. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Range_blocks" data-mw-thread-id="h-Range_blocks"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Range_blocks"></span>Range blocks<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Range_blocks"></span></h2><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-Range_blocks","replies":[]}}--></div> <p>Range blocks are sometimes used when a vandal or disruptive user has been IP-blocked on several occasions but responds by using a different IP address. In many cases, range blocks could affect legitimate users, so they should only be used when the disruptive behavior is frequent and severe enough to make other methods ineffective. This is a matter of judgement, and the likely number of legitimate users that might be affected should be considered. </p><p>When used, range blocks should be as brief as possible. </p><p>The range block feature is difficult to use correctly because it requires an understanding of binary arithmetic. It has certain limitations inherent in its implementation, requiring the starting and ending addresses to be an exact multiple of the distance between them, which must be a power of two.
