A belated report: CNN’s website (actually the AP) was reporting on Friday, November 17 that Wikipedia was once again unavailable from the Mainland. Andrew Lih, the guy dedicated to the cause always has the latest on the issue of access from China on his blog.
I can confirm that I was able to access Wikipedia on Thursday night (from Kunming, Yunnan Province in China), and then Friday afternoon it was blocked. (“Host not accessible” error.) Bummer.
Also… all blogs at blogspot.com are inaccessible. However, you can log-in to blogger.com and update your blogspot blog. Weird.
And… the number of google searches is limited. After a dozen or so, it just returns an error.
Sigh.

indeed Wikipedia is very convinient.
hope it will be accessible sooooooon…
^^ haha~ nice to meet you today~~
our unexpected meet was very funny~~^^
For what it’s worth, the news here says that China
has opened up Wikipedia for non-political
queries. So maybe what you’re experiencing is their
attempt to distinguish between political and
non-political.
If you move to toronto, you can have Chinese food,
speak Chinese, live in a foreign country, and also
read any web page you want. You could get a place
in Markham where it would be very, very hard to find
native English speakers.
Hi Eliz….just testing to see if I can get this message thru to
you…love, Grandma…
