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?
