I have always been under the belief that the anonymous are more helpful than not, whether the wiki(s) they contribute to are small or large. However, where that faith ends is with the creation of article and/or blog pages. During my time on Nukapedia, I have learned the hard way by participating in hours upon hours of cleaning up horrible article-pages, removing spam articles, dealing with spam bots being circulated through proxy accounts, etc. etc. etc.

In my eyes, the anonymous should always have the right to edit and contribute. But if and should they ever wish to actually create pages and blogs, I staunchly believe they should take the extra step of dedication by creating an account.
