I never see an anonymous editor making a contributive edit that improves the wiki, most of the time it's useless stuff that doesn't belong in the article at all. No offense, but there is no way that you could have possibly accounted for the millions of edits the anonymous community has put into this wiki - especially in the days when this wiki was first founded, and was in dire need of content. Generalizing the anonymous community as harmful, based off of a very short section of time in which no factual statements have been provided, is simply not enough to denounce their worth.

I guess there is not too much to say on my end from there. So I will end with a reiteration upon my opinions on this matter:

1. I do believe that the anonymous should not have rights to create article-pages directly. However, should they utilize sandboxes/forums, I do propose that they should keep the right to propose articles.

2. I believe that the anonymous should have the right to edit. By removing this right, the wiki will be ultimately harmed by this decision.
