Incidentally, it was tor the inspired me to propose the English
Wikipedia IP blocking exemption policy.  It is Tor that the blocking
exemption policy on en.wiki would permit those censored to also read and
write to the English Wikipedia.  I encourage other projects to adopt it
as well.

All the credit goes to every contributer who helped discuss and refine
policy, as it has been much refined since it started.  The community on
en.wiki did this (made the policy into its current form) .  It is a good
thing.
