*You* are here to build an encylcopaedia. The Wikipaedia community has already stated loud and clear they do not want my help with that.
Your interpretation. Myself, I think what has been said is that they are uncomfortable with how permitting editing through Tor allows vandals and sockpuppeteers to evade scrutiny, and that unfortunately this also means that editors of good will who desire to use Tor for reasons of anonymity cannot.
I am here because Wikipaedia is seriously hurting people, often being a worse attack site than Encyclopaedia Dramatica, and it needs to stop.
Ridiculous hyperbole.
This is not to say that there are not problems - there are and sometimes they are serious.
However, a comparison between the two projects shows that Wikipedia is trying to be a useful resource and ED is trying to get a rise out of people for their own amusement by publishing whatever hurts those they don't like. I think that's a major difference, personally.
