On the same basis as _EVERYONE_ is trusted on Wikipedia.
Wiki is an exercise in trust. It's finding out that if you open the doors and let everyone in, 99% of them are going to be good-hearted, hard-working, and well-meaning. And you can collectively deal with the other 1% quickly and effectively.
Casual and anonymous editors are the lifeblood of any wiki -- including Wikipedia -- and we restrict their privileges at our own peril.
