An analysis of Syrian internet censorship shows
Wikimedia sites among the

The data they're analyzing is the filtering proxy logs from October 2011,
so a lot's changed in our systems since then; for instance, the section
on
page 7 regarding HTTPS traffic might be
completely inapplicable to us
now.
But I figured it was worth passing around.

I only skimmed the paper, but interestingly all the charts mention
wikimedia.org being censored, not
wikipedia.org. I imagine that means
they are censoring pictures/videos rather than actual articles
(presumably.).
