Just like the Netflix Prize, knowing which topics an entity is interested
in, and having access to text they have written, is, in many cases, enough
information to reveal who that person is, where they live, etc. You just
plug the data into Google and correlate away.

Hi Brian,
I'm still not entirely clear on your complaint. Are you talking about
Wikimedia (not random users, nor Wikipedia Administrators) having access to
IP addresses from system logs? Or something else? What does "The IP address
is helpful, but not necessary" mean?
Cheers,
David...
