Firstly, I must apologise for being so terse and shitty on IRC last night.
No you must not! It's fine.
My suggested wording is:
All edits to Wikipedia are recorded and visible, with the [[IPaddress]] they are from. Your IP address is publicly visible on edits where you are not [[Special:Userlogin|logged in]]. See [[wikipedia:privacy policy|privacy policy]].
Says all we need, promises nothing.
That's good, I would prefer that we ask people to "read" the privacy policy rather than just "see" it though.
If this is important enough to add for Foundation reasons, it's important enough to get right. For *hundreds* of projects, not just en:.
It's absolutely important to get right. I'm glad that we've got some discussion going over it.
