I think 68.39.174.238 makes an excellent example on this wiki of an excellent IP editor. I mean, he even got an RFA. Perhaps he can be added to this essay. nneonneotalk 05:46, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

 * I just took a gander at the edit history of 68.39.174.238. It's refreshing to see an IP using edit summaries. Eeekster (talk) 04:13, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
