Why so? Editing history reveals your interests, maybe your politics,
perhaps your religious affiliations, your ethnicity. A whole range of
personal data can be mined from 1000s of edits. It may reveal
associations with other users, and networks of users. Those groupings
may then be traced into social networks like facebook, or linkin.
