We need to see some sort of rigorous statistical analysis of article creation patterns before and after the anon-disabling, producing objective results rather than subjective opinions. I've long been annoyed that this experiment was apparently set off without any plans for this. It's fortunate (though less than ideal) that Wikipedia's database retains enough information to still do some analysis after the fact.
Analysis has been done, results will be published.
In any case, I'm curious about what you believe we lost that we could have had with additional planning?
