We talk a lot about the process of unblocking, or IP block exceptions,
which is relevant and I don't want to derail from it, but I think we need
to remember that a lot of people will try to make one edit and if it
doesn't work – because they're blocked for reasons they can't understand –
they will never come back again. They are not invested in the wiki they
tried to edit, they are not going to wait or spend time and effort fixing
the issue. If we block a significant amount of internet users in a specific
area, some languages will have real obstacles to attracting new editors.
