I’m here to let you know you are wrong.

I made an anonymous edit to the Wikipedia page of one of Hemingways short stories three years ago, and my edit is still there.





I was responding to this:

>> The list of animals has dolphins and birds but not humans?

> It’s Wikipedia. Make the change you want to see in the page.

Yes, minor changes will not draw negative attention but the days when randos could make major edits like that are long gone.

But try it. Maybe I'm wrong.


You were lucky that you could edit in the first place. Most anonymous editors are blocked before they make an edit due to shared IPs.
