Did I miss something, how can *they* block people from editing? Or do they mean something like a filter blocking access to Wikipedia URLs containing, say, &action=edit in them?

"The Defence Department has blocked employees from altering information on Wikipedia after 5035 edits by defence staff were detected."
"Defence has closed personal edit access down, though employees will still be able to browse Wikipedia for information purposes," a defence spokesman said.
mmmmmmmm
They are well within their rights to do that. I'm just glad they bothered to take the time to block just editing.
