[[Wikipedia:Requested articles]] asks for someone else to write an article for you. It's a very good page that serves a necessary purpose. But there's an additional, separate problem now: an anonymous user has already written several sentences or paragraphs, and needs to turn this into an article. That's what [[Wikipedia:Articles for creation]] is for. IP users can post their text to this page, and a registered user will put it into an article (if appropriate), or offer other help. If you look at how things have been going in the first day, I think we've created several useful articles or redirects, and posted a lot of advice on peoples' talk pages about why some articles may not be appropriate. I give articles the benefit of the doubt when deciding whether to create them, and I hope others do the same. I encourage you to take a look at the page, and consider it among the maintenance tasks you consider doing. -- Creidieki

Part of the experiment is to see what anons decide to do when a restriction is applied - for instance, if we get a surge in throwaway logins and no benefit in content quality, that might suggest the problem is with pseudonymy rather than anonymity.
