For everyone's information, en:User:OneGuy
has posted
a proposal here --
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Disabling edits
by unregistered users and stricter registration
requirement
There is already a vote of sorts taking place -- a
list of "support" and "oppose" votes is growing
slowly. I am not clear as to why a vote is taking
place so early, or whether the vote is intended to
have any force. I also don't know if it was
advertised anywhere (I hadn't seen it anywhere but
RC), but I thought a proposal (and apparent vote) to
disable anonymous editing and add stricter
requirements for registering as a user deserved a note
on the mailing list. If it's already been posted
here, forgive me (but I don't think it has). Thanks
for your attention to this issue,
