There is still plenty of room for technical solutions.
Some kind of virtual identity plus slashdot style karma.
For wikipedia tor-users would start with karma=-1, only be allowed one
edit a day, and the edits would only be visible to logged in users (i.e.
not search engines), that choose to view TOR edits. After some positive
mod-points, the user would be promoted to a first class user. There
could be conflicts in which case karma<0 edits would be discarted.
And it should be done in WikiMedia and similar software instead of every
wiki.
