"Thus, to avoid future problems, Wales plans to bar anonymous users from 
creating new articles; only registered members will be able to do so. 
That change will go into effect Monday, he said, adding that anonymous 
users will still be able to edit existing entries."

Why were Wikipedians the last to know about this? I only saw some 
discussion on the mailing list about this, but nothing final. Why do we 
have to learn of this from the media instead of straight from Jimbo? 
This is really disturbing.
