Anonymouse.org is a proxy popular with Chinese users
to circumvent
censorship. Unfortunately, not all Wikipedias are accessible through
it. I just tried a large sample, and I found that the following do
*not* work: ja, ko, zh, mr, th. What happens is that anonymouse
redirects the main page of these Wikipedias back to the main page,
resulting in an infinite loop.
The brokenness of zh is of particular concern, for obvious reasons.
It might be a unicode issue, but ar, he, ru all work fine. I doubt that
is is a bug in anonymouse that affects only certain unicode characters.
Further testing... Try putting in:
Probably somewhere along the line it's stripping the Chinese characters, or
misconverting them into question marks (?). If you go to
, this will put you into an infinite loop trying to
load the main page at its canonical URL.
