I will talk to my contact at our ISP, to see what can be done about allowing us to run our proxy scanner. We'd always want to keep our scans to a minimum, just to avoid lots of headaches. But my *huge* concern is that people not start firewalling us for this, that'd be very bad.

Hello Jimmy,
A possible solution is that your ISP directly forward such abuse requests to a mailling list like abuse@wikimedia.org . I am already willing to answer such emails (I have been an abuse engineer for a big ISPs before).
Also, all IPs assigned in north america are stored in the ARIN database, the block of our server is: http://ws.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl?queryinput=!%20NET-207-142-131-0-1
Maybe your isps could divide this block and create a new one named for example WIKIMEDIA-207.142.131.192-207.142.131.255 and list abuse@wikimedia.org as an abuse contact as well as abuse@monsterpipes.com .
cheers,
