[Wikimedia-l] Re: Open proxies and IP blocking

[Joris Darlington Quarshie]

Suggestions to resolve open proxies and IP block issues.

- Building bots/ tools or features, when a user logs in from an open proxy.
A notification pops up stating “ You have login from an open proxy. Kindly
click on this link to enter your username,password and IP address.
- If Username is verified. Access is granted to edit content.
- If username is not verified. Kindly state “ There’s no username as such.
Access denied.
- After editing, thanks for your contribution. Your edit will be reviewed
within (this duration) before its published.
- Username must match with user login entered.
- After reviewing, if there’s no form of vandalism. User receives a
notification “edit from IP address is published”. If there’s a form of
vandalism user receives a notification message “ edit from IP address
contains vandalism content. Therefore user is blocked”.


Kindly note: Please this just an idea that came in mind. If there are
stewards here who will like to go through this and share the feedback with
me I will Ben grateful.
