Can you generate a list of non-blocked non-latin usernames that are active editors?
Yes

I think we have a different idea of what active is. Two edits that are six months old isn't active to me. It appears from looking at the logs, the blocking of non-Latin username became a regular practice in early October. The non-latin reasoning was specifically added to {{UsernameBlocked}} on Oct. 16. I think if we have non-latin editors that are active since September (to give a little room for error) that would really mean something. I also think three edits should have been enough to be noticed on RC and blocked if this is the standard practice. Therefore most non-latin editors with three edits since Sept. should be blocked if my claim is true. I don't think the existance un-blocked non-latin editors who were only active before Sept is significant. But if you believe a different time-period would be siginificant please explain.
