LinuxLefty writes "Reuters is reporting that Chinese authorities have
lifted the ban on the English version of Wikipedia. The Chinese version
of the site is still blocked, as are English-language versions of
politically sensitive topics such as Tibet and Tiananmen Square. 'The
move comes after International Olympic Committee (IOC) inspectors told
Beijing organisers that the Internet must be open for the duration of
the 2008 Olympics and that blocking it "would reflect very poorly" on
the host country. China's government, keen to avoid sparking social
discontent, keeps a tight watch over the media and often blocks or
censors popular Web sites and forums where dissent may brew.'"
