: Ok, in Wikipedia terminology "anonymous" and "pseudonymous" are different things. Anonymous editors are the ones who post under IPs only, and pseudonymous ones post under an account without revealing their real name. Obviously I am 100% in favor of pseudonymous editing, and anonymous editing hasn't been a problem at all so far. It is few and far between, and seems mostly from people editing while accidentally logged out. — [[User:Psephomancy|Psephomancy]] ([[User talk:Psephomancy|talk]]) 00:13, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
:: Just to add a bit of nuance, perhaps any restrictions on pseudonymous editors should focus on those who make many edits. It doesn't seem like we ought to restrict someone who makes an account to primarily edit or create a handful of articles. In addition, there could be some priority order to the articles such that greater restrictions are placed on someone editing something like the [[majority criterion]] versus some page that they themselves created, like [[Ideal Representation]].

::: Yeah I think this is really about ''frequency'' of edits, not pseudonymity of edits. You're probably aware that you're the dominant contributor right now. I don't really see that as a problem, though, as long as you're treading lightly and are open to other people's input. Your edit count is inflated by all the creation of redirects and other benign janitorial stuff, anyway. — [[User:Psephomancy|Psephomancy]] ([[User talk:Psephomancy|talk]]) 01:34, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
