I have requested permission, and it was denied.
You have to "demonstrate the need" and "be trusted not to abuse".
> Editors who may reasonably request an exemption include users who show they can contribute to the encyclopedia, and existing users with a history of valid non-disruptive contribution.
So, "a Wikipedia account and an email address", as you write, is not enough.
EDIT to add: As acknowledged by Wikipedia in your second link:
> IP block exemptions for this purpose should be requested by following these instructions. However, it may be difficult to establish good standing and remain completely anonymous, as the former requires editing without using Tor.
- reagle 6y agoI’m a longtime contributor and asked to use my VPN and was similarly denied. I’d like to have my VPN on most of the time, but Wikipedia won’t let me.
