Is Wikipedia still accessible via VPN from Turkey?
If accessible, then how about the effort spent in pushing a response to the government, which might not let them change their mind, nor stop them from blocking sometime later, instead, focus on encouraging the use of VPNs more?
VPNs are no longer the "terminal" things. Just a button click, and you're browsing from the US or UK.
If the government bans *all* internet access, then fine. But ban only Wikipedia? Unless VPNs don't work in Turkey too.

Greetings,
Today, a court sitting in Ankara banned access to Wikipedia. The reason for the ban is not clear but a statement credited to Turkey's communications ministry said " Wikipedia was attempting to run a smear campaign against Turkey ". Well, its seems the ban was imposed following a failed attempt by the government to control Wikipedia's contents.[1]
You may want to contribute to a proposed community's response to the ban. I have provided a link to the draft below.
