Frequently asked questions

Q: Am I active here??

A: I am semi-active, but not much here, due to work and travel.

Q: Because I edited here in the past, does it make me a sock puppet

A: No, but I have edited under IP addresses and lost-password accounts in the past.

Q: I edit from shared IPs - is this wrong?

A: Editing from shared IPs is beyond my control, and note that the computer I edit from is used by multiple people.

Q: What topics does this user edit??

A: Autism-related topics, geographical discussions, and virtually anything mainspace. For motoring-related articles, my other interest, I will have an alternate account.

Q: How do you contact me other than the talk-page?

A: You can email me. Note all email is confidential and will not be published on-wiki, without express consent of the parties.

Q: Who else edits from this user's shared IP addresses, what other users, that you know of off-wiki and in real life??

A: There were some editors who used to edit via my IP address (now indefinitely blocked as copycats of a vandal meme), but they do not edit here any more, as I have now given them their own wiki, on another host, reusing Wikipedia's text under the GFDL. Should you wish to know about it, please feel free to ask. If you edit from a shared

IP and are blocked due to editors who treat the site as a game, please suggest to the user that they edit at another wiki.

Welcome

Well, I don't really need to do this since I know you well enough off-wiki, but...
