NatKrause emailed me on Sunday morning to ask if it
was just his
connection. I confirmed the news from here from another part
of China.
Nat suggests the ban has been in place since early June 9 or late
June 8, China time. If you look at his and my user histories
(except for my proxy login yesterday) it should narrow down the
timeframe.
Yesterday I posted the news to Current Events but it was removed
due to being 'unconfirmed'.
Please consider this news confirmed.
When we confirm a source fact ourselves, then that is journalism and not
encyclopedia writing (encyclopedias are secondary sources, not primary ones and
we require links to news articles after every entry at [[Current events]]).
Perhaps this might be a good time to launch Wikinews?
But the confirmation of the block saddens me greatly. :(
