    Thanks for letting us know. That's really sad, isn't it, that the whole country can be blocked from contributing because of a couple of rogues.
    Wikipedia is such a great resource. I don't know how many times I have used it by now.
    Hope they'll be able to sort this issue out very soon.

    Strange, I can't understand why people would want to screw up Wikipedia for their whole country!

    This is going against everything Wikipedia stood for, mainly making content that each user can have a say on. Imagine if you are a legit user and you wake up to find the website you helped build has blocked you from ever editing it again.

    Thank you
