Soldier, which is why we push people to make accounts of they are of age to do so. There are two reasons why a person does not make an account here: they are either underage (which is a rule many users don't care about anyway) or they are just lazy. In fact, a majority of the edits that have been going on for about 2 months or so have been made by registered users, such as Totallyneena, Gamerboy, Aethelhelm, myself, and many other helpful users. So no, protecting pages will not reduce the edit count. In fact, it probably will not affect it whatsoever.
