This is a quick followup to http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/wiki/wikitech/323006 and partly in keeping with the anti-vandalism discussion at http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/wiki/wikitech/392727 as well.

TL;DR: A few ideas follow on how we could possibly help legit editors contribute from behind Tor proxies....

- Allow more users the IP block exemption, possibly even automatically
after a certain number of unreverted edits, but with some kind of FlaggedRevs integration; Tor users can edit but their changes have to be reviewed before going live. We could combine this with (3); Nymble administrators or token-issuers could pledge to review edits coming from Tor. But that latter idea sounds like a lot of social infrastructure to set up and maintain.
From talking to Eleanor Saitta: could we do FlaggedRevs by IP space,
and/or by the intersection of IPs and topic space? Basically, let people edit from Tor IPs (and/or whitelist or blacklist categories) as long as those go through a FlaggedRevs-type process? And we could also do FlaggedRevs on specific IP ranges, like blocks that are known to be certain government office buildings.
