I hope if they are, that they raise a big stink. With newspapers involved.

If I find out which ISP it is (if in fact they have done this) then I will most definitely make a big stink. I might get a few bloggers involved and alert the media.
I need to know which ISP first, however.

Well, I live in Australia and there aren't that many 25000+ ISPs over here. What was the IP address?

220.233.86.223 resolves to Exetel (http://www.exetel.com.au). Having said that I don't think we need even contact them, the whole ring just reeks of bulls**t.

I don't mean to be a pain, Pete... however, I was hoping you had a time when the person did the post (in GMT), and... well, a link to the post itself (sorry, I joined the mailing list half way through the discussion, and...).
I can very, very easily check if Exetel does block Wikipedia, AND if one of theirs employees wrote that post. I can just call up, speak to a manager and tell him/her something like "I am Tony Mobily from Free Software Magazine. I would like to write an article about censorship and I heard about their new policy of blocking Wikipedia". If it's not true, then he will simply confirm it and check the IP address which made the post. If it is true... I wouldn't want to be the employee who wrote the post - and I might as well write an article about censorship!
Bye,
Merc.
