Activity Level: offline
- For starters, It's not my choice. This one is a bit hard to explain, but you have to trust me when I say it would be very hard to do.
- There seems to be some bias amoungst editors as to whether or not anons should be able to edit. It surprises me that this should even be up to question. How many of you would be here today if you weren't able to edit when you were nothing but an IP? Not many. As you can see by my rant, I feel very strongly about this. We call it Wikipedia, not almost-Misplaced Pages. The anons are what make this encyclopedia what it is today. Without us, there would be no Misplaced Pages users. The reason you don't see that many helpful anons is because they've all registered, sans this guy. In order to prove how needed the anons are, I have decided to stay one. Believe me, if there was no debate on the subject I would constantly be trying to get past what prevents me from registering. But I'm not going to do. There are still those who think anons should be forced to register. I realize what this means-I cannot have a monobook. I cannot be an admin. My IP may change again, and I'll have to start all over. I cannot vote in RFAs. I cannot create pages. I cannot move pages. I will be discriminated against. I will be mistaken for a vandal when I am bold. I will be ignored by users who do not like anons.
Somebody has to do it.
If you still believe the anons are Misplaced Pages's heart and soul, add yourself to the list:
- Anons are wikipedians too. GeorgeMoney 21:26, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
- Not only are anons the heart and soul of this place, they are a major part of the brain. Matt B."aka" Thetruthbelow 04:28, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
- At some point, certain anons get such good reputations that they begin being counted in AfDs and the like. It's just harder to remember their names. Anti-anon editors need to be sent to the LARTing department. Titoxd 08:37, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
- They are the heart, soul, brain per Thetruthbelow, and possibly the left ear... But seriously without anon IPs Misplaced Pages would suck. WillMak050389
- The only problem is with remembering the names. RC patrol shows that most anon edits are good-faith (although some are newbie mistakes). Editors can't do everything admins can do, but they can achieve the same effect using admin-help request tags and pages, and it's the same with anons (that's why pages like WP:AFC exist). --ais523 08:09, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
- Not all anons are bad.FellowWikipedian 02:18, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
- There is actually some good anon users such as yourself. Thief Lord 19:38, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
- If I could'nt have edited as an anon, I wouldn't have registered. Superior1 20:10, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
- Agreed. Some anons are morons (i.e. vandals) but there are some like you who are truly meaning to help out. -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 02:44, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
- Roger that, captain! --Pilotguy 04:35, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
- The best (only?) active anon on WP with over 2000 edits. It just goes to show how useful anons can be, even if they do not have certain functions. Fredil Yupigo15:33, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
- Not the only one, 68.39.174.238 posts boatloads (I imagine they know eachother by now.) I post a little, but I don't know if I really count as anon. :) 207.145.133.34 15:47, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
- Anonymous contributors are like the little gnomes that run around quietly and improve Misplaced Pages articles. Also vandalize, but based on my research so far, mostly improve. —

04:16, 18 July 2006 (UTC) - True long-time anon editors aren't even identifiable as such (and yes, they exist), unless they have had a single fixed IP the whole time. Having a user page is a bit of a sellout. I'm not sure that your point is well made this way, because 69.145.123.171 now has an identity as much as a registered user. In fact, more than, say, a registered user without a user page. -Dan 70.30.114.149 01:08, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
- I realized that having a userpage would certainly cheapen it; however, I hate red links. I want an identity, though, that's the thing. People should see that while anons aren't the greatest Wikipedians ever, they can have identities and in fact be good users. It's also how most users get their start. Having a userpage doesn't give me any special advantagies, it just helps me be identified. So there. 69.145.123.171 Saturday, August 12, 2006, 19:48 (UTC) (on AOL :P)
- I love anons--Chili14 22:22, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- Anonymous (or not so anonymous, as we have seen) ediotrs are the sould of Misplaced Pages. Abusive admins, etc. will harrass you and yours as long as there is a program called "wiki" or until they are all banned, but remember to damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!!!!! —$ΡЯΙNGεrαgђ (-¢|ε|Ŀ|T|♪-) 15:18, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
- People should do random article patrol more. If they do, they will learn that the encyclopedia is mostly written by anons, and then edited into shape by registered users and admins. Zocky | picture popups 00:09, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
- The great power of Misplaced Pages comes from the anons. I myself, now an admin, created an article as an anon. If I never created that article, I wouldn't have ever discovered this wonderful world. Say No' to anon-discrimination! Say Yes to Wiki-equality! Gizza 06:17, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- I myself have done many anon edits, where I wouldn't want my username to occur. Support the anonimists! @kshay 10:30, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- Rock on! 206.124.31.24 10:56, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

- Go anon Uncle Kitia 18:21, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
- If it weren't for anon editors, half the pro-wrestling articles wouldn't be there! Anons are just as important to Misplaced Pages as us registered editors! -Darryl Hamlin 05:54, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

- If it weren't for anons, teh Miles "Tails" Prower page wouldn't be what it is today! Karrmann 02:30, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
- ANON POWER! WooooT!! Borisblue 04:07, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
- Who cares if your username is numbers or letters?! Anthony 21:14, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
- Over half of my edits have been as an anon, it saves me the time of logging in.--the marble 23:53, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
- Anon editors need to be able to edit, the Main Page says so: Welcome to Misplaced Pages, the 💕 that anyone can edit. I wouldn't have bothered to make an account if I couldn't edit certainly. Go the IP addresses =D --WikiSlasher 15:43, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- I wish I could find that article I read where someone worked out that most of Misplaced Pages's content actually comes from anonymous editors. Keep up the great work! -GTBacchus 03:18, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
- I got into Misplaced Pages by anon-editing a couple of spelling mistakes in articles I was reading. I have since gone on to over 5,000 edits as a registered user. Had I not been able to edit the page as an anon, I would never have bothered starting. Cynical 12:08, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- I actually am watching this page just because I think that it's so cool to have some anons left in this world. Rock on!--Clyde Miller 23:47, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
- You rock man. Long live the anons, or the good ones at least. ← ANAS 12:50, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
- You're the best IP out there. Rock on. ~ EdBoy 01:10, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
- I was an anon before I was Sahmeditor (and my friend vandalized under my account), but you are right. We all were anons sometime, and we should make a userbox stating our beliefs! Sahmeditor 23:36, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
- YES! Support anonymous editors! Many anons are good contributors,and it is sad that they almost never get answered (By the way, that is my IP) when questions are asked. --68.224.239.145, or

(Talk) 08:05, 9 July 2007 (UTC) - After seeing this page, I remembered what it was like to be an anon myself and decided to be more friendly to anons in the future. My comment became a bit too long to be posted here in its entirety, you can read it here. - ∅ (∅), 21:49, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
- This is what wiki means. Prejudice is always bad. -- Mentifisto 14:33, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
- I have no issues with sporadic IP editors. I started editing as one. I do have a problem with longstanding IP editor. It's impossible to have an ongoing discussion with an editor whose identity changes regularly because their IP keeps changing. If you are going to edit regularly, for the long-term, you will need to engage other editors and for that you need to have a continuous identity, whether that is an IP number or a username. But if you just come on to fix a typo or misspelling, there is no reasons to register as far as I'm concerned. Liz 21:31, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
- Besides the arguments mentioned in the essay and comments, the recruitment benefit, I occasionally look into the IP contributions out of curiosity. It is exciting to find decade-old edits there. It is like receiving a message in a bottle. ––Elominius (talk) 21:39, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

Welcome
Welcome to my talk page.
Please add new topics to the bottom of the page. If you post a message on this page, I'll reply on your page
- If I make a mistake editing a page or if you think I posted something that you consider to be incivil/inflammatory/etc, please try to keep cool, assume good faith and comment here calmly about it. (This goes double for you if you're an admin) Please bear in mind that since this is the Internet, we can't tell a person's tone based on what they type. Plenty of other Wikipedians can attest to the fact that I'm not the kind of person to casually hurl insults whenever I feel like it. The only people who truly deserve my wrath are lamers.
- I will gladly help out anyone who needs it if I am able to. If you need help and you feel I can help you, then by all means, please comment here.
- Please sign your comments using four tildes (~~~~). If you're new to Misplaced Pages, please see Welcome to Misplaced Pages and frequently asked questions.
- Please be polite and follow Misplaced Pages Guidelines. Please do not post abusive messages. Post in a manner that you yourself would like to be addressed in, otherwise your comments will be deleted or refactored. Users who continuously disrespect these guidelines will be asked not to post here anymore.
- If you're new here, then Welcome to Misplaced Pages!
New awardI put a new award up on your Userpage. Hope you enjoy it! Sasquatch t|c 04:36, 23 June 2006 (UTC) UsernameI encourage you to obtain a username, post-haste! What if your IP address changes? A username is guaranteed to be permanent. Furthermore, you cannot become an administrator, if you so chose to do so. Please see Misplaced Pages:Changing username for details. Better late than never. --Jay(Reply) 03:33, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm seriously sorry about that I reverted the wrong one by mistake. I'm still getting used to vandalproof....sorry again. I have removed the needless warn. Aeon 04:40, 24 June 2006 (UTC) UnexpectedThis was incredibly unexpected, finding an entire complete userpage etc here. Viridae 04:58, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Also, you're probably sick of hearing this but I really think you should create an account here, even if you only use it for page moves or whatever. Extraordinary Machine 19:16, 24 June 2006 (UTC) New sigHey, I got a new sig. You like it? GeorgeMoney 22:09, 24 June 2006 (UTC) Edit SummariesThat is really funny that I never use them, because I even have a java script that makes me use them and I even ignore that. --GeorgeMoney 22:17, 24 June 2006 (UTC) IdeasYou know, you could create an account like "69.145.123.171.USER". You'll probably encounter a lot less bias, though I bet you already know that. If I were you, I'd write a manifesto about why you don't have an account on your userpage.--The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 22:41, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
FeaturesPeople, add more features to signing up
Spelling and GrammarI note that on your user page you spell grammar as "grammer", and vandalism both as "vandalizm" and "vandalism"? Is this what you mean? Just trying to help... xander 21:11, 27 June 2006 (UTC) Thanks for your help, and maybe I can help you too! Perhaps you could tell me how you reply to my message so fast? Do you have something that notifies you immediately when your page is changed? Can I get that? Maybe if I can type first? Also is there a way to watch all of your edits, and I could check them for "speling" and "grammer" (hehe)?xander 21:15, 27 June 2006 (UTC) Thanks again for your help! xander 21:30, 27 June 2006 (UTC) Re: your messageThanks for the heads-up; I'll get onto it and rectify the problem as soon as I can. Waggers 22:08, 27 June 2006 (UTC) Another QuestionYou said to come back if I needed more help, so here I am! I'm sure I created an article yesterday called "Lemon D", about the drum and bass music producer and DJ, but now it's gone? And I can't seem to find it in any deletion logs?? xander 12:31, 28 June 2006 (UTC) My dear 69To my dear 69, here's to the kindness IP to ever grace this place - and thanks for lightening up our days with your wonderful mood! A big hug, Phaedriel Dear 69 (I imagine you've been told this before - but it feels so strange to call you that! :), you have no idea how much that "Holy macaroni!" thing made me laugh. And I see I'm not the only one who's been blessed by your good humour - keep it up, a sincere laugh can turn even the worst and darkest day into Heaven. I'm am truly flattered that you have me in such high regard, hun - tho it is completely undeserved, I'm afraid. My name appearing so often you thought I could be close to a bureaucrat?! oohh well, sweets - leaving the great laughs you've gifted me aside, it is a great pleasure to meet you ;) I, like many others, have seen you around, and allow me to tell you that, should you haven't decided to honor me with your visit, sooner or later I would have dropped by your Talk page anyway - it's not everyday to see such a brilliant and original editor like you obviously are. You're more than welcome to drop by mine should you ever need my help, or simply if you wanna talk. But before I go for now, I really want to give you this humble gift - only once I have ever granted it before, since it is somewhat hard to make me laugh, yet you've managed to do it twice in two sentences! An immense hug, and I hope to see your friendly virtual face again very soon, Phædriel ♥ tell me - 23:25, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
For the love of God, don't register!Please, don't register. It seems sometimes that there are people who don't value IP-only contributors, and the fact that you are a prolific and useful editor shows that unregistered users can be and are a vital part of this project. I got pressured into registering, and regret it to this day. Nice userpage, by the way.Captainktainer * Talk 02:07, 29 June 2006 (UTC) Well, he can do more for the community with a username.

I'm backWerll at least till I go to Italy. Unfortunately during my one week between holidays my laptop managed to break and I split up with my long term girlfriend; Misplaced Pages dropped off my priorities list for a while. --Robdurbar 17:53, 1 July 2006 (UTC) Well, you've made a little name for yourselfHi there- I helped you a few months back with pointers on deleting articles. I'm snowballing the chimes for you to register a username. We could make a helluva monobook for you. My monobook gives me one click rollback, one click nomination for AfD, one click report to AIV, talk messages, contribs lookup and much much more. Listen to GeorgeMoney and just jump right in.

I just wanted to tell you that I have returned due to your’s and others kind messages and emails. I missed this encyclopedia, and I have missed you as well. I really appreciate all that you have done for me. Matt B."aka" Thetruthbelow 06:05, 2 July 2006 (UTC) Thanks!Hope things are going well for you. I am enjoying your edits to my vandalism center as well, hopefully that's where the vandalistic edits will be confined. Too bad you couldn't vote, though. --Pilot|guy 13:48, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
RegisteringI have moved the page. I totally respect your decision, and I think it's good what your doing. Cheers! GeorgeMoney 20:47, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
How to get a monobookHey thanks for the attempted tip. Nice to hear from the famous anon. If you can obtain or otherwise use a windows program like adsubtract or admuncher, they can on-the-fly inject javascript into pages. You could then inject an include() statement onto all pages you visit and use something like popups. Kevin_b_er 03:39, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
rantI saw your rant about the IP thing, and I want you to know that you have a big supporter among the users. You are a great contributer, and my only regret is that I can't nominate you for adminship because you are an IP. All the same, stay here and keep on being great. Matt B."aka" Thetruthbelow 05:55, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
ArghDarn, I r found out. Did you like the eon8 reference? :) Master of Puppets 17:23, 3 July 2006 (UTC) MonobookOnce you get an anon monobook, you can even insert a signature button that inserts your sig, and you can insert special links. GeorgeMoney 19:33, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
