I'm late to this thread, so pardon me if I'm repeating, but I'm
*glad* that it's not obvious who wrote an article.  I like to
think of Wikipedia as being written by some large number of
anonymous contributors, one of whom happens to be me.  Even asking
whether an article was written 90% by me or 2% or whatever --
to me, that sounds perilously close to WP:OWN.
