"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."

A news article that features "In the blogosphere" needs to be rewritten. That's some seriously shit journalism.

They can't call it a wiki if so. This is such bullshit.

I agree with >>3. Also, the article (or Wales) wrongly says "anonymous user" when it means "unregistered user", and this is why barring such users from creating pages is pointless: every user is essentially anonymous.
