Thanks for all your help and suggestions. It is all very interesting -- I'm still very new to Wikipedia. That is, I've been reading it for a while, but haven't edited much.
Tim Starling, I tried your proposed solution from the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Advice_to_Tor_users_in_China, and it works, after a fashion. However, as I noted on that talk page (which I used as a test), it breaks my access to, for example, the mailing list archives. I can't access, for example, http://mail.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2005-October/031345.html. I get the following error message:
Not Found The requested URL /pipermail/wikien-l/2005-October/031345.html was not found on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
What is the IP address 145.97.39.155, anyway? Is that your own proxy server?

It seems to be rrvs.knams.wikipedia.org, so certainly something local. Not sure quite what that server name means, though...
