FYI, after talking to the smart tech folks of Wikimedia, access to
*.wikipedia.org from China should be back to the state of affairs as
of a few days ago.
That is, everything accessible except for zh.wikipedia.org. I can
confirm this is true from my Beijing connection.

FYI...
In the last few days, I've found that my DNS resolves to the Tampa
servers (which are blocked) rather than the Seoul servers (which are
unblocked). This may explain the problem below.

Hello,
2 days ago, everything was ok, but from then yesterday or the day
before yesterday, I started not being able to see the following
websites :
www.wiktionary.orghttp://wikimediafoundation.org/www.wikipedia.orghttp://meta.wikimedia.org/
(Note : But www.wikimedia.fr/ is accessible)
Note : The access was just fine from both 2 chinse internet providers
in Guangzhou, China, and all the sudden, I couldn't access them on
both at home and at work.
- Could you please confirm that it is not the websites that are down ?
- Is this due to a move of host IP to a IP range restricted by chinese
internet providers ?
- Or is this due to a new dark age for wikipedia in China ? For the
last 3 or 4 months, Chinese pages were restricted but not the other
langueges pages....
Sincerely,
(Tired of this stupid government who blocks just everything without
reason, and they won't even bother to write "sorry, this website is
against the law, we restricted access" they just let you believe the
page doesnt exists.)
And my software to get through the Internet Great Wall is not working
for now.... :-((
