look at the press on the WikiScanner. Wikipedia came across as

justify to myself" or "what's on the Wikipedia guideline page" but
"what the public and press will lynch me for" - and the last of those
turned out to be a fair bit harsher than the second. We don't *need*
to make a big fuss ourselves. 'Cos we're nice and all.)
So you support
publishing the IPs of every edit?
No, I'm saying it was interesting and a harsh lesson to conflicted editors.
Ah, it sounded like you thought the COI disclosure was a good thing,
but since far more COI editors will be smart enough to make
accounts....
