Users may do most of the editing in terms of number of edits, but original information (even is misformatted) comes, right now, predominantly from anonymous users. I believe that they will be disincentivated to edit, if their edits won't be reflected immediately, and I think the process that has made the Wikipedia so rich risks an abrupt slowing.

I don't think that is a good idea. It removes much of the editing incentive of getting an account and makes editing more tiresome for those who edit the most (users).<br><br>-Aaron Schulz<br><br>> Date: Mon, 8 Oct 2007 18:16:03 -0700
