As long as I know, the solution nemo pointed out works perfectly on Persian Wikipedia which deals with Iranian internet censorship on daily bases. We have people using open proxies or Tor to connect and it is doing well with IP block exemption. The actual number of users using this beside admins ( who get this automatically) was at most 50. So I think there is no need to add any other system, procedure and etc. And I talk about local IP block exemption not the global one. On Jan 13, 2014 7:03 PM, "Marc A.

That wasn't /my/ statement, I was just pointing out its straw nature myself. :-) My point was exactly that trying to use emotional statements as rationale for change won't lead to anything good.
Can we look into ways of making it more practical to edit through TOR without causing damage to the projects? Yes. It it useful to start throwing around the "OMG think of the repressive regimes" thing around? No.
