* Chinese ban on Wikipedia prevents research, users say

Chinese students and intellectuals are expressing outrage at Beijing's decision
to prohibit access to Wikipedia, the fast-growing on-line encyclopedia that has
become a basic resource for many in China. Wikipedia, which offers more than 2.2
million articles in 100 languages, has emerged as an important source of
scholarly knowledge in China and many other countries.
