== „Highly exceptional circumstances“ ==

Before:

:“Registered users in good standing can ask for [[Wikipedia:IP block exemption|IP block exemption]] to be enabled on their accounts.”

After:

:“'''In highly exceptional circumstances''', registered users in good standing can ask for [[Wikipedia:IP block exemption|IP block exemption]] to be enabled on their accounts.” (emphasis: Babelfisch)[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AAdvice_to_users_using_Tor&type=revision&diff=703454885&oldid=689528910]

This new version flatly contradicts what is at the top of the project page:

:“Tor users should be met with [[WP:AGF|good faith]], as there are good reasons to use anonymity networks. In countries that [[Censorship of Wikipedia|censor Wikipedia]] or block it completely, it is one of the few ways of accessing Wikipedia. Additionally, in light of [[List of government surveillance projects|governmental surveillance programs]], users may choose to use Tor in order to exercise their [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia is anonymous|right to anonymity]].”

Consider:

:“I am a strong supporter of people using Tor to edit Wikipedia, and I think the current situation is quite unfortunate. There are complications to be sure, but the idea that admins can use Tor, while ordinary users can not, does not strike me as particularly appropriate. Anyone who is a normal trusted editor ought to be able to use Tor if they like... and why not?--Jimbo Wales 19:22, 9 July 2007 (UTC)” (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jimbo_Wales/Archive_26 User Talk: Jimbo Wales, Archive 26])
