i have said "as i know it is used to make some anonymousity of ip address in russian providers", it is "as i think", i think that probably they intentionally use dynamic ip for some anonymousity, partially just to connect many people through few ip-addresses. i have said "but that was because of shortage of ipv4 addresses". but if it is made for anonymousity, that can be made also with ipv6.
Huib Laurens has said "Its againt the privacy poliicy to publish logs like that" and FastLizard4 has said "The Wikimedia Foundation believes otherwise. Take a look at their Privacy Policy". these arguments are not very correct, because i say about changing that privacy policy itself, and am not i talking to wikimedia foundation?
FastLizard4 has said:
some people are understandably quite frankly scared by the idea of broadcasting their IP address to the world, since very often, rather accurate details about the location - amongst other things - of the user can be found from checking the IP address.
i think, that is quite secure for them, if only their town or region is found. how many people think so? how many people have one ip address for a family (home) or even personal ip (if it is personal modem of gprs/edge/3g for personal notebook)? may be they should use proxy or ask their provider to make anonymous ip for them? FastLizard4 has said:
As for open proxies for editing, they are generally disallowed from editing.
i had not known about that. i want to check that.
Huib Laurens has said:
there is really no good reason given why people should see al the ip information for all visitors on a wiki
what about opening ips not of all wikipedias, but of only several language subdomains?
