If experimentation was really the point, how about we finally re-enable anon article creation and see whether the article creation rate changes again?
I absolutely guarantee it would rise steeply. As would the deletion rate.
I should have clarified that I was talking about _net_ article creation rate. That's what the article that started this thread off was analyzing. If deletion rises as steeply as creation does there'd be no net change in Wikipedia's growth rate.
Visit [[Specal:Newpages]] and [[WP:RA]] to prove this for yourself.
Can't prove anything with those because there's no before-and-after information.
