English: Video about how to edit wikipedia by Alessandro Serravalle.((Italiano: L'animazione mostra simbolicamente la creazione e la crescita di una pagina di Wikipedia, ovvero il dietro le quinte che solitamente i lettori non vedono. Lo stile riprende la natura work in progress di Wikipedia, attraverso il continuo mutamento di una pagina eseguito da più persone. Viene data importanza alla funzione "modifica", fondamentale per iniziare a contribuire a Wikipedia.

"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."
