Thanks, Peter. I do know that Ed based his code on a UK or EU version.
As for the IP addresses, those are stored in the WP versioning - is the
issue that it points out the location based on the IP? (Which anyone
could look up, but this makes it more obvious.)

The subject also sparked a current thread on wikitech-l [1] about
whether or not is appropriate to publish IP addresses for anonymous
editors, because it enables this sort of partial de-anonymizing.

There is a new service developed by Ed Summers

from the point of view of potential conflict of interest. But it also
may give, over time, a picture of how Washington-related information
gets updated in WP.
