Say what? Wikipedia bans Qatar!
Web encyclopaedia Wikipedia has banned anonymous
posts to its site from people in Qatar after repeated net
vandalism.
Web encyclopaedia Wikipedia has banned anonymous posts to its site from people in Qatar after repeated net vandalism. The ban hits everyone in the country because all web traffic in Qatar is routed through a single net address.
Wikipedia says pages about the US, sex and the birthday of the prophet Muhammad were vandalised by anonymous people in the country.
In a post on the Wikipedia site, it says: “Anonymous editing from this internet address is currently disabled due to a large volume of spam and vandalism that we have received from this address.”
Overreaction?
