well, here's my question then, if you don't want to block proxies, then
what is your suggestion to take care of the massive ammount of spam?
wikipedia isn't ment to be an opinion based site for people to express
their views, it's meant to be an encyclopedia, stating only the facts,
so why would people need to be anonymous when editing or adding new
articles, unless trolling?
On another point, for blocking proxies, it may be nice to somehow take
advantage of the abusive host blocking list (
ahbl.org, hosted by
sosdg.org). I believe that's the one for blocking proxies, etc. or there
may be another one on that site. I personally believe that proxies
shouldn't be used for going to wikipedia as you can hide your IP by
creating an account.

Well if you propose blocking these you propose blocking ME and a couple
of hundred thousand Thai's who are with True / Asia internet as the
provider forces us to use open proxies. I am one of the most active
editors on nl.wikipedia. So they will be glad to hear you think that.
For your info I cannot change internet ISP. I wonder how many other
people this is the case for!
