It seems that PRC has indeed blocked Chinese Wikipedia. I reckon (and hope) that it is only temporary, as today is June 4 and usually many foreign websites are inaccessible on this particular day. But some also suspect that it may be because of some artciles relating to Taiwanese independence written by Taiwanese contributors.
Currently Chinese Wiktionary is still accessible from mainland China, and we are calling all Chinese Wikipedians that have read this message to go to http://zh.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:%E5%95%A4%E9%85%92%E9%A6%86#%E5%B0%... for discussion.

China goverment maybe blocked wikipedia, because today is the 15th commemoration day for the Tiananmen Square Event.
So far it is not sure whether Wikipedia is blocked, more infomation is needed for confirmation.
