My first proposal: after I am logged on, I should
have the option to
disallow my IP address from anonymous posting. So when I am on
wikipedia once again, anonymous, the system won't give me the
possibility to save changes without logging in (or, may be, pushing
explicit button "I want to edit without logging in, with ip-address
logged").
This would be a very dangerous facility, if provided. It would mean
that anyone using a proxy server could block everyone else using the
proxy server, inadvertently. If we did something like this it would
need doing with cookies, I suppose.
