From that perspective, we should censor Wikipedia to gain more
accessibility in China. I think that would be unacceptable.

Hoi,
When Wikipedia is not legal in a country, it brings the people who are
living in that country and edit in danger. When Wikipedia is not legal
in that country, it means that we are hampered in our aim; bringing
information to all people. It is not at all ridiculous at all to want to
be legal in all countries. When some content is problematic, the office
has the right and the might to remove such an article from a project.
Particularly on the English language Wikipedia this happens with some
regularity. It does happen on other language projects as well.
Thanks,

countries.

whole Wikipedia pages and re-use them." Well, this is not necessarlily true outside
the USA. So fair use images should be banned for the same reason that applies to
NC's.
