Chinese Censors Lift Wikipedia Ban!
We thought we'd never see the day, but the Chinese censors have lifted the long-standing ban on Wikipedia! Maybe they finally realized that because anybody can edit Wikipedia, they can just delete the stuff they don't like anyways. Of course, the Chinese government can organize more people to edit and delete articles than the rest of the Wikipedia community combined! Now the battle is likely to turn the other way, as Wikipedia bans Chinese IP addresses from presenting the world with lies and half-truths about topics sensitive to the regime.

Don't think they'll go as far as banning Chinese IP addresses, although the proxy I used to access Wikipedia is banned. If it went that far I'd petition to ban certain American IP addresses...
Now however the fascists are blocking blogspot! What's the deal? I can access this site, but can't access blogspot hosted by blogger!
Idiots... And they get awarded the Olympics. Sic semper tyrannus
No, good point. I didn't mean they would ban ALL chinese IP addresses, just those that are most aggressive in deleting factual material counter to the party line.
oh my god! This is wonderful. I can't believe I didn't hear this sooner. Thanks so much for posting!
Hey Ryan, i guess that was just a trp. no more wikipedia in china and so "back to anonymouse". Hope to hear from you once in a while.
