Or perhaps ask that at a specified
number they must log in??? I know
that I sometimes don't bother logging
in and once you get carried away 
adding articles and making edits,
you just forget about not being
logged in. So a reminder would 
be helpful if it could be implemented
without much fuss or trouble. Other
wise if there is no harm done then
is the reason for the limit a feeling
that some bot may mess things up?
That could be a problem... What 
else could be done?
