Why does WikiAnswers user contribution history by IP number show questions the user did not ask?

The problem is that some ISPs and networks share IP addresses. When you dial-up to an internet service provider they randomly assign you an IP address from the group of numbers that they own (unless they promise you a stable or permanent IP address). Other customers of the ISP would have used that number before.
Something similar happens with corporate networks and proxy servers. All the traffic from a certain company, for example, would go through one central server. If that server has one IP address everyone at the company, school, library, etc. that uses the local network will have the same IP address.

When reviewing the contributions of others it can sometimes be difficult to see who wrote what.
