Actually, anyone can create or edit a non-protected Wiki page, irrevelevant of if they are registered or not. Vandalism is quite rare though, sicne reversing changes can be done with a click or two and all IP addresses of non-signed-in users are logged and on display to the general public.

(As I said previously in the dicussion tree, I created the article though am not responsible for the recent edits.)

I've added the page to my watch list and will monitor it.

To the person responsible: This is a serious project, as is Wikipedia; you are not anonymous (here are some other recent edits from our unnamed assailant, who is using the IP address 146.176.49.119 - notice the edits of Cornwall). Wikipedia has a neutrality policy which you will respect; you are more than welcome to add helpful comments to the article, otherwise, please do not continue editing it. Thank you.

Author: Roberdin [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 15:54:55 11/12/04 Fri Understandably, it is, after all, an unusual concept. Please add more information as you like. :) If we can get the article to a sufficiently high standard, then I will submit it as consideration for their Article of the Day.
