I seriously doubt requiring someone to create a throwaway email account in
order to sign up for Wikipedia would change anything. By this, I mean I
doubt it'd stop any vandals, and I doubt it'd drive away any users
(although
it might discourage casual users from creating an account, which could be
argued as a good or a bad thing).
It would mean it would generally take up to 10 minutes to create a new
account, as opposed to just seconds to edit anonymously from a new IP. For
pure vandals/blocked users it would get tiring after a while, if they were
all blocked in seconds.
