This problem of proofreading IPs concerns the whole Wikisources. If all Wikisources don't have the same rules, what it the point to make a comparison with figures and graphics. For example, de.WS doesn't want to mark the empty pages as 'Without text', as en.WS and fr.WS did. It distorts the statistics...
IP edits do not distort the statistics. The statistics are about the content of the pages, rather that who did the edits.
If de.WS is confident that IPs can be trusted to validate pages, that means that their project & community is better able to monitor their IP edits. I think allowing IPs to validate pages is sensible if the community is able to monitor it.
I do not understand why de.WS does not want to mark empty pages as 'Without text'; that sounds like a different issue, and one which would distort statistics. Perhaps a de.WS contributor could explain the reason in a new thread; maybe we can learn from de.WS, or agree to disagree.
