[Foundation-l] Blackout at Italian Wikipedia

[Nickanc Wikipedia]

Yes, there are these groups, but in most wikipedias they have few
persons inside it and they have almost no policy; moreover if you look
for global ipblock exempt you may found that they are still vulnerable
to IP and IP range blocks made locally on individual wikis
(http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_blocks_and_bans#Global_IP_block_exemption
). so, for example, how could a chinese write on it.wiki? or, if
Berlusconi's law will get approved, how could italians write freely on
all wikis, if in fact there is no global ipblock exempt?
