Hi, zh wikipeida admin:
you can use a anonymity tool to visit wikipedia enlish main site freely,
see the below link: http://tor.eff.org/cvs/tor/doc/tor-doc-win32.html
this is a step by step installation guide, just follow it, and the
restriction will not work any more.
I have used it and successfully visit en.wikipedia.org these days.
and only see your post today, so if you still don't learn about the tool,
just hurry for it now.
p.s. I am myself also a chinese user, resides in HangZhou, ZheJiang, The
tool I recommended *Tor* just works without any problem.
one problem is that if too many persons know this tool, maybe *Tor* itself
will be blocked by GOV.

=== Technical news ===
-[Rename User] the special page to rename users has come back the same way
as it disappeared; unexpected. Bureaucrats should now again have the
option to rename a user-account to another name, given that the name of
the new user-account does not yet exist (see special pages). It also looks
like the original limit, stating that only users with less then 6800 edits
can be renamed, is still valid. Using Kate's tool, users can check
themselves their number of edits doesn't exceed this limit. If your wiki
does not have a formal policy for renaming users, please make sure at
least that all users requesting to be renamed have placed a properly
signed request on your wiki themselves. This to cover your ass as a
bureaucrat.

-[Fancy nicks]- For nicks including tags, such as <font color="red"> color
tags, it was found that many times the closing tag, in this case </font>
had been left out, messing up pages. The MediaWiki software has been
changed because of this. Wiki markup and HTML markup do no longer function
in the Nickname field any longer, unless the Raw signatures option is
checked in your preferences. The current version has been tested and found
to be secure against scripts, too. For more information follow the link.

=== Global ===

=== Stats ===
-[Stats]- ERRATUM: In number 0 of Wikizine we wrote that "Erim Zachte" has
created the new stats. This is not correct. This is of course Erik Zachte
([[w:nl:Gebruiker:Erik_Zachte]]), also the creator of Wikipedia for Pocket
PC, Palm, EPOC and EasyTimeline.
