IP edits do not distort the statistics. The statistics are about the
content of the pages, rather that who did the edits.
If de.WS is confident that IPs can be trusted to validate pages, that
means that their project & community is better able to monitor their
IP edits. I think allowing IPs to validate pages is sensible if the
community is able to monitor it.
I do not understand why de.WS does not want to mark empty pages as
'Without text'; that sounds like a different issue, and one which
would distort statistics. Perhaps a de.WS contributor could explain
the reason in a new thread; maybe we can learn from de.WS, or agree to
disagree.
