The majority of Wikipedia editors are college students, so unsurprisingly the majority of vandals on Wikipedia are also college students. Since schools provide a small number of IP addresses to thousands of students, the public IP addresses of colleges are sometimes blocked to limit disruption.

If this happens to you, contact your Wiki Ed content expert and classroom program manager immediately. In order to help us resolve the issue quickly, please visit What's My IP from a computer you know to be blocked. This will help us find out how and why the address was blocked.
