IP editing -- context
we were chatting at WP:Teahouse I was curious about the context/reasoning for IP editing on wikipedia e.g. why do it legitimately, are there risks with normal editing, etc.

Also how does one retain a stable IP? do you do you edit from a VPN or static IP host somewhere? Tonymetz (talk) 17:41, 28 February 2024 (UTC)


 * I don't retain a static IP, @Tonymetz, it changes at the whim of fate and whatever service provider I'm currently using. I don't mind. For a semi-humorous explanation of why I prefer it, see Association of Good Faith Wikipedians Who Remain Unregistered on Principle. In a few months, IP masking is going to be implemented (see here) which may or may not change how I and a few other long-term IP editors interact with Wikipedia. We shall see! 57.140.16.57 (talk) 17:48, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
