"Growing Wikipedia Revises Its 'Anyone Can Edit' Policy"
Anyone can use the public library. But if you're too disruptive, you'll be asked to leave.
Essentially the problem is the outside world wants it to mean something it could never possibly be mean. I think we get an excessively hard time over this - you don't see companies taken to task when "Free prize giveaway" turns out to cost 50c per participant for the postage to claim their "free prize". "Anyone can edit" - virtually everyone is given the chance to edit. We don't take bullshit though.
"Anyone can edit" = Everyone is invited to contribute to the encyclopedia, but if you misbehave we reserve the right to withdraw the invitation in your case.
