Sources can be checked. What I'm presenting to are the totally mindless, malicious vandal edits by totally anonymous fools who have complete access to the encyclopedia. Perhaps I am being naive, but I believe a named, accountable User Page would go a long way to ridding Wikipedia of them.
Our big problem is not random hit-and-run anonymous vandalism; it's hard-working and malicious vandals who view trashing Wikipedia as a challenge. Technical barriers to entry will discourage sincere new contributors but not stop the problem children for a moment.
