Hi,
I am one of the admins in the Kurdish Wikipedia (ku). A user from Iran informed me today that the ku.wikipedia.org http://ku.wikipedia.orgsubdomain is blocked in Iran. He receives the following error message:
*** Access Denied!
This page will not be accessible for the reason that in our database it has been assinged to the category of blocked contents .
In the event the URL does not contain materials that are forbidden by laws, please fill this form out then hit send. ***
He assured me that this is a standard message for blocked contents. There is no such problem with other subdomains of wikipedia.orghttp://wikipedia.org. He did NOT fill out the form.
Before we start any bigger protest, could someone else from Iran please verify this issue? There was a similar issue with Turkey before, I don't want to start anything without a clear verification.
Regards, Erdal
