[WikiEN-l] Editing with open proxies

[ElinorD]

People are asking what the problems are with open proxies.

Connel MacKenzie has stated some interesting problems with the idea of an
admin using open proxies here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_adminship/CharlotteWebb#Trusting_random_networks.3F

He states (and I haven't the expertise to know if he's right or not) that it
makes admin passwords insecure, which would be something very serious.
