Anonymous page creation being disabled on en wikipedia

[edit]

By 5th of December 2005 an announcement was made about anonymous page creation being disabled on en wikipedia. To me, it's a tremendous decision and exceptionally good one. I hope this will be one stone on the path to avoiding noise introduction into WP. I believe it's one stone, for a user to create an account will have to think at least one extra second about the why WP and the what is WP. This extra second sounds needed to me.

I certainly do not think this decision to be the solution. But, it reveals concerns about noise in WP. In that respect this decision is the proof that the problem is not ignored any more, that there is a search toward a solution. The actual, and much harder to deal with, issue is about what can be considered as notable or not.

Great great day for WP.

I'll observe a lot, and contribute moderately, as usual. A purple wikiuser 00:57, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia as Electronic Workplace

[edit]

I can only suggest this reading : Wikipedia as Electronic Workplace by user R. McClenon. It explains well what should happen on WP. It gives clues on why some users do not fit well in a collaboration, working, community. A very good read. A purple wikiuser 18:31, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
