I often wonder if I have offended anyone when I can't access wikipedia at all for several hours to sometimes days from home (and then am able to access it from work or school for a while, then nothing - no other sites seem to be affected). Are these outages normal? Is there a problem with me being behind a firewall? Or am I in fact on somebodies sh*t-list? Just wondering.....
No, if you were blocked you just couldn't edit pages. You could still access the site.
