Another confirmation from a friend at a college campus in Guangdong:
Wikipedia has always been reachable from home. I just tried the main English language site, as well as the WTO entry in English and the Chinese language site, and none of them are coming through. The computer opens up a browser window and searches, and I get the message "Connecting to (the site)" and then a few minutes later I get the message "Operation timed out while trying to reach (the site)." I'll try again from the office today, as well as a little later in the day from my home, and I'll let you know if I get anything different.

Yes, seems that there is widespread reporting on the inaccessibility. I'm travelling to Beijing in a few hours, so I'll try to confirm the same thing while I'm there. Will keep you posted.

scy_hk and theodorian, on irc, just reported at least part of China was not accessing all Wikipedias today, starting around 17:30(UTC+8)
Shizao put a mail about it : http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikizh-l/2005-October/000217.html
Chinese editors are right now having a chat about it and a report page was set.
