1) I don't believe so myself. I have a few hundred contributions, and I haven't even had the time to add more info lately. Theres an incredible number of contributors out there, and many, if not nearly all, of the most common questions are solved by a visit to the wiki. 2) Wikipedia (as was mentioned), has a half-protected system. Anonymous users can make edits, but only to some pages. They can start new pages, rename pages, upload images, edit semi-protected and protected pages, or make an edit be considered minor. Wikipedia also needs a massive number more articles than any other site by its nature. In short, I think allowing anonymous access does pretty much nothing. Joseph M.
