if I understand well, it is impossible to become

If I continue to understand well, a person who
cannot reveal a real identity can continue having
a user account on Wikipedia or contribute as
anonymous IP address.
Is my understanding right?
That's right. As to what sort of procedure I ought to use to ensure
that there is not rampant vote fraud from fake names (because even if
I say you have to be a person and can only vote once, how am I to know
without such absurdities as requiring identification), I'm open to
suggestions.
But, in the best wiki spirit, my guess is that this will not be an
appreciable problem. We will learn from experience, but mostly I
think we can trust people to do the right thing.
