RFC 1149 is IP over Avian Carriers not Carrier Pigeons, and is uselss as RFC 2549 has QoS for IPoAC ;)
But are such avian-carrier users actually banned from Wikipedia edits? If this protocol were actually to be implemented, then any packets sent by this means would be tagged with an originating IP address, like any other Internet packets, and it would then be up to Wikipedia policy to decide whether such IPs should be blocked due to the potential of avian-carrier-based vandalism. No such policy exists now that I know of.
I don't believe anyone beyond a few silly LUG's has even thought of testing IPoAC, so the answer is no.
Let's move this segment to the IETF Routing WG, and abandon discussing it here.

You beat me to it. Indeed, if the architecture was there, then yes, we would allow editing from IPoAC. Unless the pigeon in question is a Tor exit node with a policy allowing access to Wikipedia. Using Tor *is* about as slow as using carrier pigeons, come to think of it.
