That is Wikipedia being banned. Are there other, real paper, published encyclopedia that have been banned or classified? I expect the answer to be yes, and I hope it is only repressive regimes which have done this. If other encyclopedia have been banned, are we in good company? If we are the only encyclopedia to have been banned, perhaps our content is inappropriately explicit, and we could replace this wikipedia image filter with some editorial self-control. -- John Vandenberg _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
