Keeping editing as a *very* open model makes extra work for the active 
editors. Since the anons cannot create new articles we are now getting 
millions (?) of bad faith editors creating an account to make edits.  
There are now over 12 million editors - many of them are blocked and 
many are "drive by" vandals with only a few edits.

Account creation or new article creation by new users needs to be changed.
