Hi,
If I find out
which ISP it is (if in fact they have done this) then I
will most definitely make a big stink. I might get a few bloggers
involved and alert the media.
I need to know which ISP first, however.

220.233.86.223 resolves to Exetel (
http://www.exetel.com.au).
Having said that I don't think we need even contact them, the whole
ring just reeks of bulls**t.
I don't mean to be a pain, Pete... however, I was hoping you had a time
when the person did the post (in GMT), and... well, a link to the post
itself (sorry, I joined the mailing list half way through the
discussion, and...).
I can very, very easily check if Exetel does block Wikipedia, AND if
one of theirs employees wrote that post. I can just call up, speak to a
manager and tell him/her something like "I am Tony Mobily from Free
Software Magazine. I would like to write an article about censorship
and I heard about their new policy of blocking Wikipedia". If it's not
true, then he will simply confirm it and check the IP address which
made the post. If it is true... I wouldn't want to be the employee who
wrote the post - and I might as well write an article about censorship!
Bye,
Merc.
