== Vandalism == 

 I find this on my page: "Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Great Salt Lake. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you." Note that this is the most recent, not the only such notice. Why I have not seen these before I do not know, but they go back to 2008.  

 None of the offenses ascribed to me, this one included, is my work. The warnings regarding shared IP addresses appear to be inadequate, as the suggested solution of creating an account has clearly failed to solve the problem. I am, therefore, asking for additional suggestions.  

 To be clear, I do occasionally edit Wikipedia, always on this account, and never haphazardly or cutely. While I might well be legitimately criticized as stodgy and old-fashioned (split infinitives, misspelling, and poor grammar drive me up the wall, and I frequently correct them in Wikipedia articles), no one reading anything I have written could see it as frivolous, never mind vandalism. Evidently, there is some mechanism at work which lays the work of others at my doorstep. If you can suggest any means of preventing this in the future, I would be most grateful. Meanwhile, please accept as the truth it is that I do not vandalize. If someone else is able to label edits as being made by "Altgeld" on this account, I would like to find out how to stop it.  

 My direct e-mail address is bloom.louis@gmail.com. I invite, nay implore, you to contact me immediately when another such vandal's edit appears on my account.
