yes, but it is way to broad. hosting service ranges are blocked even though individual servers have static IPs. it is possible to get an IP unblocked, but then someone else blocks another range with that IP again. it's impossible to keep up.

the problem with accounts is that the editing history is public, making it impossible to keep even a pseudo-anonymous identity because everyone would know who i am based on what i edit.

i don't mind wikipedia itself knowing my identity, just like i don't mind hackernews admins knowing who i am, but i'd like wikipedia to help me keep my identity hidden from the public.
