100% vandalism, all of them.
I don't think you understood Zero's comment. In an earlier message, you
wrote:
I think if a repressive regime wants to track the
Internet writings of
people living there, an anonymous web proxy is not going to stop them.
If I had ever once seen an anonymizer used in such a
manner on
Wikipedia, I would agree with Erik that it is worth putting up with the
extra vandalism. However, I never have.
What zero was asking about (I think) and what I also wondered about is
whether we have any way of determining whether the anonymizers are being
used in a positive way. In other words, how do we know that anonymizers
are not being used constructively by users on Wikipedia?
