Most of the evidence that IP-editing is overall-beneficial to WP comes from non-English wikis, where IP-editor behavior is quite different. Such evidence is also epidemiological, and does not address the question of what would happen prospectively, if IP editors were forced to register as name-users,
71:
It appears that the large majority of vandalisms to BLPs are by IP-users, probably for reasons of avoidance of legal consequence, since defamation law in the U.S. (CDA sec 230) places all responsibility on the content creator, not the hosting site. This is strong reason for content creators (vandals)

Yes. I support this completely as I watch and actively contribute to quite a few BLPs and I am forever being forced to revert vandalism edits and a lot of them seem to be persistent and similar, suggesting that they originate from one person/group of people. I think that this proposal would do a

Even if being forced to register deters some IP editors from editing WP at all, protection of an additional 13% of en.wiki (the BLP part) would still presumably NOT influence the beginning editor who wishes not to register, since such editors may still edit the rest of

Well-publicized IP-vandalisms of BLPs of "non-A-list" celebrities have shown that there are too many BLPs to watch effectively, and that many of the minor ones therefore may be expected to retain clever vandalisms for months without

Semi-protection of BLPs could be instituted immediately, and would block such edits. Name-users editing from tracable email accounts will presumably be less likely to place defamatory material in BLPs.
60:
Most of these BLPs are of marginally notable figures, such as local sports figures, semi-famous entertainers (name not known to the average
English-speaker), local politicians, and the like.
86:
The usual arguments that IP editors create more good content than they destroy, have so far failed to take into account the specially high damage that vandalism brings to BLPs.

Support, but not sure that this wouldn't be a community policy proposal rather than an appeal to the WMF. An admin bot could do this tomorrow if we had the policy.--

There are presently about 430,000 BLPs on en.wiki, encompassing about 13% of all articles in
