Not all pages are, and quite a few IP ranges are blocked, but there is plenty of content being added by non-logged-in editors.

My vandalism from 2011 is still up though, thanks to being protected by a bogus citation. :-)

My own personal joke is likely to endure for dozens of years, possibly for the remainder of human history, because no one reads the citations? I’m a little proud of that.

Just like who knows how many bits of false information. Which then get copied, pasted and repeated across the web and the world.

Yes, editable != globally editable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Protection_policy

On top of this, bots such as ClueBot will most dong postings on even less trafficked locations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ClueBot_NG

The last two apartments I lived in had Comcast and the IPs were banned from editing. Very weird.
