The IP address of the sender
(
219.79.22.41<http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=219.79.22.41>)
is from Hong Kong, and AFAIK, China blocks wikimedia projects.
Mainland China and Hong Kong are acting mostly independently in that
respect, so I think it would not be blocked in Hong Kong
So, how can a
person from Hong Kong possibly access wikipedia extensively so as to analyse
the contributions and nature of wikipedia?
See above; interestingly, on another university in Hong Kong (the
University of Hong Kong) there is also research into Wikipedia, led by
Andrew Lih ([[w:en:User:Fuzheado]]).
and moreover, he says that he is
sending it to only 100 wikipedians. This can make the result very different
from the actual fact.
There will always be large differences, because people who answer an
enquiry like this are not a random sample from the total population of
people having been asked.
should i participate in the enquiry?
That should be your free choice, in my opinion.
