The best approach is to determine the CIDR IP numerical address range and make a higher-level decision to soft-block the entire range.  http://www.arin.net/ (for approximately North America) and related sites can help to identify that range.  Caution is advised when applying a range block as other Wikipedians, both registered and otherwise, may be affected.
