- Your IP address is visible
  - Why this is generally not a great idea: harmless edit but oops!
Creating an account with a username is a better approach
- Hides your IP address, increased privacy if you need it
- Increases your credibility
- Allows broader ability to create, edit and move articles
- More tools are at your disposal
