Did I miss something, how can *they* block people from editing? Or do they mean something like a filter blocking access to Wikipedia URLs containing, say, &action=edit in them?
That's what I'm assuming they've done.
Shouldn't be too hard to test. We could just ask someone working for them (there's got to be at least one Wikipedian who works there!) to edit through secure.wikimedia.org and see whether that works; or to just try editing one of the non-En WPs. I very much doubt that their IT department would have written a filter broad enough to catch all that, like ".*wiki.*/&action=edit.*" - too many ways to edit WMF projects and too many other sites that might get hit.
