"Growing Wikipedia Revises Its 'Anyone Can Edit' Policy"
Anyone can use the public library. But if you're too disruptive,
you'll be asked to leave.
Essentially the problem is the outside world wants it to mean
something it could never possibly be mean. I think we get an
excessively hard time over this - you don't see companies taken to
task when "Free prize giveaway" turns out to cost 50c per participant
for the postage to claim their "free prize". "Anyone can edit" -
virtually everyone is given the chance to edit. We don't take bullshit
though.
"Anyone can edit" = Everyone is invited to contribute to the
encyclopedia, but if you misbehave we reserve the right to withdraw the
invitation in your case.
