I don't know who is proposing anything like that.

All I'm saying is that Tor could segregate users easily enough into two
clouds: "We sorta trust these ones, more or less, a little bit, but no
guarantees" -- "We don't trust these ones, we don't know them".

Users in the first group could be allowed access to Wikipedia because
their overall level of bad behavior would be tolerable.  Users in the
second group would still be blocked.
