I find the concept of having both pseudonymous and anonymous traffic
through TOR quite interesting. In some cases, you really do wish to just

Just a thought.
Wikipedia entries from anonymous sources, such as Tor, should have an
expiration date and revert back, unless a Wiki Admin or other trusted user

No, this is important. If this isn't Cypherpunks material these days then
nothing is.
As for the Wikipedia folks, I can't imagine having a more intelligent batch
of people disagree. There's is a very practical matter: Reducing the

That's trivial: charge Tor-originated users for editing. That 0.0001% (all

But now we're back to the question: how can Tor be improved to deal with
this very serious and important problem? What are the steps that might
be taken, however imperfect, to reduce the amount of abuse coming from
Tor nodes?

Oh...-that's- your point:
No, Wikipedia needs to realize that the IP address correlation they enjoy
outside of Tor is a happy accident, and that they should stop treating IP
addressess as user credentials. If they want credentials, they need to
implement them.
Well, is it reasonable to
