13. IOt's not that the whole of Wikipedia is blacklisted; just the Virgin Killers page

(though they could have targeted just the image itself, instead). But the problem is that the ISPs did this by redirecting all requests for Wikipedia from UK addresses through proxies - so that Wikipedia sees them all as the same address. Since Wikipedia wants to have some idea of who is trying to edit the pages, they don't allow editing through known proxies.
