I wanted to thank you for signing my guest book and for your dedication to anti-vandalism, but sadly I cannot thank anonymous users. So, you get a kitten instead! Thanks for your hard work.

:::{{re|Illusion Flame}} in fact the reverse is true, as the primary difference between the two scenarios is that if someone doesn't log-in we have an additional public piece of information to use. Indeed this is why you'll sometimes hear it said that unregistered editing is ''less'' anonymous than registered editing. There are also some other facets of having an account that make disruption more difficult to track, which is why the more clever and experienced LTAs use accounts almost exclusively.

== Inspiration and admiration ==
 
Anonymous IP, I'm sure you've been told every compliment in the book at this point. You're a well known vandal fighter and RC patroller, and you're very good at what you do, both that and not making an account. To me, you are what every IP editor should strive to be: helpful, and plenty helpful at that. Please continue to do what you do here; it's good, honest work, and as a fellow RC patroller, I appreciate any help you give to the project.
 
P.S. If you're ever down to chat with some fellow editors, there's a [[WP:DISCORD]] if you're interested. Cheers, and ''atque supra''! [[User:Fakescientist8000|Fake]][[User talk:Fakescientist8000|scientist]][[Special:Contributions/Fakescientist8000|8000]] 01:32, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 
:Thank you! It really means a lot. Your help is much appreciated as well! And yeah, I am aware of Discord, but I was not aware there was a specific thread for Wikipedia users. I may create a Discord account in the future but as of now I don't have access to Discord.

==Village Pump discussion==
Hi, re the [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(policy)#Request_for_Comment:_Should_editing_on_Wikipedia_be_limited_to_accounts_only? |Village Pump discussion on registering accounts]], I'm curious as to what the valid reasons are for not creating an account, and why you think you'd not be here if you had to create an account. [[User:SilkTork|SilkTork]] ([[User talk:SilkTork|talk]]) 12:20, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
 
:I am aware that this isn't the same for everyone, but for me, I started editing because I realized how easy it was, as in, you didn't have to create an account. When I first started editing (which was under this IP address if you were to look at my first edits) it was primarily small typo fixes. For me, I probably wouldn't have gone straight to creating an account just to fix typos or make small changes to articles, especially if I were to never use that account again. So, I chose to stay unregistered, and I am sure that there are many people who would not have created an account in the first place if they couldn't edit Wikipedia anonymously, as creating an account could reasonably be seen as too much hassle (as I see it). As for reasons, as I continued editing Wikipedia, I began doing anti-vandal work (which I still do). I have no interest in obtaining Rollback or other anti-vandal features, primarily on [[WP:CIR|competency]] grounds (I am a minor), and creating an account would just be me being burdened into getting tools I don't want. While I am sure this is a minority view, that is the main reason I chose not to create an account. [[Special:Contributions/47.227.95.73|47.227.95.73]] ([[User talk:47.227.95.73#top|talk]]) 13:14, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
::Slight note: I don't think being a minor has anything to do with competency on Wikipedia, even with tools. I've seen plenty of competent editors who've admitted to being below 18 (including myself at times, though I may have a biased view of my own competency), even with tools. It's a matter of your competency, and while I haven't seen you around much, I think your comment about not being competent to gain tools is a sign that you would be competent to hold those tools, ironically.
::To be clear, I'm not trying to get you to sign up for tools (keep doing what you're doing; if it ain't [[WP:BROKE|broke]], don't fix it!); just saying, at least from my view, you'd be plenty competent for them. <span style="background-color: black">[[User:Skarmory|<span style="color: yellow">Skarmory</span>]] [[User talk:Skarmory|<span style="color: yellow">(talk •</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Skarmory|<span style="color: yellow">contribs)</span>]]</span> 05:01, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
:::To clarify, I wasn't implying that all minors do not have the competence to edit Wikipedia or use it's tools, I was just implying it to myself. [[Special:Contributions/47.227.95.73|47.227.95.73]] ([[User talk:47.227.95.73#top|talk]]) 11:59, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
 
:I consider the difference between "if you had to create an account" and "if you ''had had'' to create an account." In the beginning, I made a few edits with an IP, because it was so easy. If it weren't, I would never have become engaged, being tired of the world where you can't contract a purchase or receive service without "joining" rather than just engaging in a one-off interaction. I leave 47.227.95.73 to answer the hypothetical of "had to create an account" now; the current arrangement seems to be working to everyone's satisfaction. But I suggest that many editors now contributing with a registered account would never have done so if they ''had had'' to create an account to do so. <small><sub>''signed'', </sub></small>[[User:Willondon|Willondon]] ([[User Talk:Willondon|talk]]) 19:54, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
 
::Thanks for your response. The anti-vandal tools are a choice that a user makes - you can either have them or not, that's your choice.
::Anyway, I'm interested in the viewpoint that creating an article is seen as "too much hassle". And I'm wondering where that impression comes from, and what can be done to let people know just how easy it is to register.
