high ground of protection against government persecution or industrial

obscuring their identity server administrators, and that carries with it
a different set of ethical implications.
I can see the place of anonymity on Wikinews, for example - reporting
about something you don't want your name linked to as yet. But I
really cannot see that a case has been made for Tor-level anonymity if
the mission statement is "We're here to write an encyclopedia." Even
for regular open proxy anonymity.
