I guess you're one of few with a static address, where doing something via your IP can automatically be connected to you as a person. I've made plenty of Wikipedia contributions, but going to "my" user page with my current one, I find none. I don't care about if someone can connect the IP with my contributions.
But I completely understand if you're making more "risky" edits and/or have a IP address attached to you like that. Then it makes sense. And if it's too much to create an account for the tiny edit, I guess it'll be left like it is. Some things I see on Wikipedia are wrong too, but the work to verify, archive, link and do the edit, is more than the edit is worth in terms of shared knowledge, so I skip it too.
On the other hand, I quite like that you can connect the ASN with edits on Wikipedia. Makes it very obvious what organizations are trying to influence what in which direction. But maybe the information doesn't have to be fully public, require a different access rule than just user.
- surround 6y agoI don’t have a static IP (but I do share one), and I don’t really make any “risky” edits. Yet the thought of my online activity potentially being tied back to myself makes me uncomfortable enough to not contribute.
