FPs last edited by an IP

Motivation: I want to find out whether it makes sense to inspect our FPs regularly for anonymous edits (IP edits) because a reasonable amount of these edits is problematic (vandalism, damages, etc.). Here I have listed all FPs which were last edited by an IP (as on 2024-03-21). Checking some of them and noting down the results will allow us to conclude whether regular inspections are necessary or not.

Preliminary results: After checking all files listed here the results confirm that checking IP edits is very important – some IP edits are valid and helpful, some others are harmless, but many IP edits are nonsensical, destructive or clear vandalism. Some exemplary examples:

• File:Grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) 02.jpg: Even blatant vandalism is often not noticed soon.
• File:Bohinjsko jezero 2.jpg: This addition of a nonsense text in the wrong place went unnoticed for more than 10 years.
• File:Blue_Hour_at_Pakistan_Monument.jpg: Shows that small destructive IP edits mostly go unnoticed and hence are never reverted (history). The nonsense text “Lp00” was for 1.5 years right at the beginning of the description page … and nobody noticed it.

Many thanks to Cart for helping me much with this task!
