My thoughts on "anonymous" unregistered IP editing

I personally believe Wikipedia would be better off if all editors (or, at least, those who will be sticking around) consistently used accounts (except on very rare occasions). I have never heard a convincing reason why a serious Wikipedia editor would want to adopt an ongoing practice of editing "anonymously" with only an IP address (or dynamically changing IP addresses).

At the same time, I concede that my opinion on this issue is not policy, and probably never will be policy — and although I will sometimes urge frequent "anonymous" editors to register, I respect their right not to do so and to participate here using an IP address (or addresses) as long as they are not acting disruptively.

I will not hesitate, though, to impose "semi-protection" or "pending-changes protection" on an article that becomes mired in vandalism or edit warring involving multiple unregistered editors (or a single unregistered editor using a random bunch of dynamically assigned IP addresses). My motivation in such situations is not to disingenuously discriminate against IP editors — but if an article is under attack, then people's freedom to edit without using accounts may need to take a back seat to the more pressing imperative to protect Wikipedia — and in any event, no lasting harm is done in my opinion, since any legitimate editor can still participate in the editing of a semi-protected page by signing up for an account and going through the necessary steps to become autoconfirmed.
