Frequently asked questions

 * What is an IP address?
 * An IP address is a series of numbers associated with a particular internet connection. Every computer is associated with an IP address whenever it is connected with the internet.


 * How private is my IP address?
 * It depends. If you are not logged into FAMEPedia, your IP address is publicly recorded with every edit that you make. If you are logged in, your IP address is hidden from all but a very small number of trusted administrators. In some cases, it is possible that the origin of your IP address could be used in conjunction with the pattern of edits in your contribution history to identify you, even by private individuals unknown to FAMEPedia.


 * Why might I need to share my IP address?
 * IP addresses are used for several administrative purposes on FAMEPedia. In particular, sometimes IP addresses are blocked from editing FAMEPedia to prevent abuse, and you might be asked to provide your IP address to administrators in order to help resolve a block.
