Thanks for all your help and suggestions. It is all very interesting
-- I'm still very new to Wikipedia. That is, I've been reading it for
a while, but haven't edited much.
Tim Starling, I tried your proposed solution from the page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Advice_to_Tor_users_in_China,
and it works, after a fashion. However, as I noted on that talk page
(which I used as a test), it breaks my access to, for example, the
mailing list archives. I can't access, for example,
http://mail.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2005-October/031345.html.
I get the following error message:
Not Found
The requested URL /pipermail/wikien-l/2005-October/031345.html was
not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to
use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
What is the IP address 145.97.39.155, anyway? Is that your own proxy server?
