There were few censored pages on the Turkish Wikipedia when it was on HTTP. They were the "vagina" article and election prediction article. Only those pages were censored.

Last month there were some articles on the English Wikipedia about ISIS-Erdoğan (I don't care true or not). Then they have blocked all Wikipedia (all languages). Because they were unable to block those individual pages.




Yup. Was there 2 weeks ago working with a group of Turkish engineers - I went online to get some technical information about a particular stream cipher, and WHOOPS! - Wikipedia is blocked, completely.

Fired up my VPN, accessed the page, thank you very much.
