That's exactly right. This wouldn't replace anything as is, it would just augment. I'm getting real sick of high school IP addresses that vandalize and then say, "Oh, must have been someone else." Better to just lock that down at a level where you can leave a message and be sure it is getting to the right person. But only in situations where it has been shown to be a recurrent problem, of course.

It would just say something like, "This IP is blocked from editing anonymously because of past problems with vandalism, but you are free to start an account and then you can edit all you want" or something like that. Is this possible?
Would that make it harder to stop sockpuppets?
Only if we replaced the current functionality with this.. Better to make them both available and use the new one only for shared IPs. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@Wikipedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
