Tangentially elated to this question, we have a forthcoming paper at the CSCW conference about how research conclusions change when anonymous work (e.g., IP editing) is taken into account. We looked at data from a citizen science project. Short answer: it makes a difference.
The paper isn’t up on the ACM DL yet, but you can see it here: https://crowston.syr.edu/node/756
Doing the study requires access to IP addresses for logged in users, so someone at WMF would have to do the study for Wikipedia, which would be really interesting and would speak to the question of whether IP editing is a gateway to further editing.

Hello Kevin Crowston,
THank you for the link. I have read your paper about the initial phase and profited very much from it.
My personal opinion on UP editing, not backed by research: IP editing has negative social consequences for the community. This negative side is not quite visible when only looking quantitatively at huge data.
Kind regards Ziko
