For good or ill, I don’t think Wikipedia qualifies as globally editable anymore.

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. :-)

A weird thing to be proud of.

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

I've randomly found several, and I'm just one person.

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.
