"Not that it matters a lot for MPs and politicians in general, but it's quite interesting that if someone "anonymously" edits a wikipedia article, wikimedia stores the IP of the editor and provides it to anyone that wants to download the wiki archives. If the IP range is known, or someone has the legal authority within a country to force an ISP to reveal the owner of an IP, it is quite easy to spot the actual person behind an "anonymous" edit. But if someone creates an account to edit wikipedia articles, wikimedia does not publish the IPs of its users, the account database is private. To get an IP of a user, one would need to take wikimedia to courts to force them to reveal that account's IP address. Since every wikipedia article edit history is available for anyone to download, one is actually "more anonymous to the public" if he/she logs in or creates a (new) account every time before editing an article, than editing the same article without an account. Unless someone is afraid that wikimedia will leak/disclose their account's IPs."

When assessment is seamlessly woven into the fabric of the learning or gaming environment so that it's virtually invisible-blurring the distinction between learning and assessment-this is stealth assessment. It is intended to be invisible, ongoing, support learning, and remove (or seriously reduce) test anxiety while not sacrificing validity and consistency. A good way to describe stealth assessment is with a metaphor.
