Re: Anonymous editing trial.

+1 on trying out anonymous edits. I know I was one of those who argued 
against it, but if we're getting pushback about it, I'm open to trying it.

Just wondering (do NOT block on this): is it possible to have MW suggest 
that an anonymous editor (with a given IP address) create an account, 
after some number of edits? Kind of a "Glad you like it here -- care to 
introduce yourself?" thing.
