wooooahhhhh there woody. you know i didnt even liket he idea of the n
char max edit for anons. Primarily because its just not so "free". I
think editors should have the right to edit as anons and i dont see a
problem with that, thats the way wikis are and thats why we have
previous versions saved. Pages will be vadalized, and we will fix them
thats what the wiki is all about. I don't see editing restrictions
fitting well into the community. I don't like them myself. It just
completely violates the spirit of the wiki.

Yet it might prevent the wholesale reverts some folks participate in. If
they had to actually go into the article and edit they might be less ham
handed. I remember one case where both new material and a link correction
had been put in and article and the reverter never caught on that by
reverting he was also reverting a link correction over and over.
