Hi, guys,
Our Wikipedian friends from China Mainland just confirmed that users from most provinces of China could visit zh.wp directly. Originally they could only visit by "climbing the wall". Most of us guess the lift of the ban is brought by the Olympic Game which is going to be held next week. Though the lift might end after the Game finishes, I still want to share this news with you.
Yeah, they block and then they unblock, back and forth, many times. This is life.
Best wishes, Titan

With so many years of training the Chinese Wikipedians would win all of the medals in "wall climbing" if it was an olympic discipline...

So in the meantime, I wish you all a pleasant time with new authors and a potential increase in readership of roughly 300 million people :)

This morning a Wikipedian from Beijing told a joke about the other Beijing Wikipedian (Shizhao) :
Shizhao always climbs the wall. Today he found the door open while he had arrived the top of the wall. That's why he found it so late. :D
Cheers, Titan
