Thanks, Brion. Specifically, could we require that new registered
users must have a confirmed email address before uploading? With talk
page email notifications as default setting.
That's a complete about-face from
Wikimedia's traditional policy of
allowing anonymous contributions, so before I set that up I'd need to
know this is acceptable to Wikimedia.
(I should clarify that I think it's a
good idea, personally. But I would
not feel comfortable implementing that policy without both community
agreement and approval from upstairs for the ground rules changing
dramatically.)
