Note I have occasionally edited from my university IP address User:136.148.1.142 when I have had problems logging on to Wikipedia from there. Please do not confuse that with sockpuppetry. Also please note this is a shared IP address and only a small number of edits from that address have been by me (three at the time of writing). I have also been logged off mid-edit and had an edit signed as by User:81.1.72.227. This also is a shared IP Address and not all edits by it are mine. See /My IP edits for a full list of edits by me not from my main id. Feel free to contact my talk page if you have a query.
