While I agree that working with ThomasV is sometimes difficult, he is 
right here: allowing IPs to mark pages as proofread defeat the purpose 
of the tool. This notation is intended as a certificate by an account 
that proofreading is done. Because IP are not constant, the same person 
could proofread, and then validate the page. At the very least, IPs 
should not be allowed to validate pages. I don't know if this 
distinction is possible. And if people are able to proofread articles, 
they are certainly also able to login.
