[Wikipedia-l] UTS, Sydney...

[Frederick Noronha]

I happened to be just passing through the University of Technology,
Sydney (UTS) and tried editing the Wikipedia there. This is the
message I got:

Your IP address is 138.25.2.22.

I asked IT support, but they said it was unlikely to change, because
35,000 students had to be catered to (and I guess, they have their way
of accessing the server).

All the same, isn't it sad that the students who might want to
contribute to the Wikipedia can't do so? Is there some solution?
