Wikipedia: IowaStateUniversity

Difference (from prior author revision) (major diff, minor diff)

Removed: 1d0

The IowaStateUniversity Wikipedia identity is a function of both the Wikipedia convention of tying identities to IP numbers, and the continued use by Iowa State University of several large Unix servers, available for use by most of the campus community.

It would be misleading to identify contributions coming from one of these servers as necessarily belonging to just one person, so I will be setting preferences from the 4 or 5 IPs associated with these servers to the university, rather than to an individual.

It would be misleading to identify contributions coming from one
of these servers as necessarily belonging to just one person, so
preferences for the 4 or 5 ips associated with these servers will be attributed more generally to
the university, rather than to an individual.

This use of the identity is not to imply any formal endorsement by the university of the contributions made by individuals here. It is only to indicate, in general terms, the physical or network location of the contributors.
