For the benefit of others, to test this from a mac:
1) I ssh-ed to my relay using ssh -D 5555 user@relay
2) I opened up Firefox, went to preferences, at the bottom hit Network Proxy Settings
3) I set *only* the socks host to localhost port 5555, Socks %, and set Proxy DNS at the bottom
4) I went to whatismyipaddress.com and confirmed it came from my relay IP
5) I went to wikipedia and visited a non-front-page article (it turns out articles from the front page often don't have an Edit link at the top)
6) I got something that looked like an edit page, but at the top it said:
------- You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason:
Your IP address is in a range which has been blocked on all wikis.
The block was made by Vituzzu (meta.wikimedia.org). The reason given is Open proxy: Linode (+2600:3C03:0:0:F03C:91FF:FE70:63CA).
Start of block: 22:53, 16 June 2013 Expiration of block: 12:51, 21 May 2018 --------
Alison: My relay is https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/C0EDB08D7540D1DD3CA69809ED17D979F51B66... and it has never been an exit.

Hi friends,
I'd like to collect some anecdata about this issue regarding Wikipedia blocking edits from Tor non-exit relays: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/24758
If you run a non-exit relay, would you be so kind as to go to wikipedia.org from that IP, click "edit" on any page, and report to me off-list if your relay is blocked or not? In your message, please give me your relay address and let me know if it's ever functioned as an exit before.
Thank you!
Alison
