Disabling account creation by Tor users also doesn't prevent the more insidious conflict-of-interest editing problem on Wikipedia. Why not allow account creation via Tor, but limit each node to X per day, require email validation, and build in a time delay before they can be used to edit? Maybe block page creation and edits on semi-protected pages entirely? It would be annoying to spammers and vandals, but still allow real users to get involved. It would be cool if accounts could be anonymity-enabled in such a way that they could submit "anonymous" edits (where their real username is only visible to admins or high-level moderators). That's doable with Mediawiki installations, so why not Wikipedia itself?
