Editing via tor is possible on WMF wikis if the account / user is trusted
Can you explain this briefly, or send me a pointer ? This single info can be a help for him and others. (Honestly, I do not know, what a "trusted" account/user is.)
It seems he already knows that - he mentioned it in the 30C3 talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SscFfzD_his#t=36m55s (see also Roger Dingledine earlier in the same talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SscFfzD_his#t=34m18s )
This problem has been discussed many times before, also on this list: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/wiki/wikitech/323006 There have been quite a few well-meaning but naive proposals to solve it; I understand Jacob's remarks as a welcome call to the TOR community to work more intensively with Wikipedians to understand the actual issues that motivated Wikipedia's TOR block.
I am on #mediawiki now

Hi,
during the 30C3 Congress [1] in Hamburg - where neither Wikipedia Foundation nor MediaWiki were formally present this year (but should be next year)- Jacob Appelbaum [2] - core member of the TOR project - complained in one of his numerous talks that the (edit) access to Wikipedia via TOR is not possible.
He requested that a way should be found to enable the TOR access including edit access to Wikipedia.
I am just the messenger of this message.
Regards, Tom
