::One LTA report lists the vandal's location as being in a small town in the US with a population of roughly around 300 people. While IP addresses are hard to exactly track down without contacting the ISP, and that vandals in more populated places such as The Bronx and Mobile, Alabama (using actual LTA examples here) are also hard to track down, should we really have a very small town listed as a vandal's location? With the size of the town, and considering how easy this page is to find, it could potentially be very easy for a person with bad intentions to track that editor down.''
