Wikipedia Bans Qatar:维基百科禁止了卡塔尔


diglog!

Qatar, home to nearly a million people, has been blocked from editing any entry on Wikipedia “due to a large volume of spam and vandalism.”

拥有近100万人口的卡塔尔被禁止在维基百科上编辑任何内容,“因为有相当多的垃圾和破坏性的行为出现在维基百科上。”

Apparently Qatar has a single ISP, Qtel, with a single IP address shared by the entire country. Wikipedia has blocked that IP address for anonymous edits, but is allowing users of that IP address with actual Wikipedia accounts to continue to edit articles. There’s one problem, though. You can’t create an account if you enter Wikipedia from that IP address. It’s a bit of a Catch 22, and users will be forced to either use a proxy to enter the site (many of which are also banned), or simply stop editing altogether.

很明显,卡塔尔只有一个ISP,Qtel,全国也只有一个共享的IP地址。维基百科已经屏蔽了那个IP地址以防止匿名编辑,但是允许那个IP地址用真实的维基百科帐户继续编辑文章。这就有一个问题。如果你用那个IP地址进入维基百科将不能创建帐户。有一点Catch 22,用户不得不用代理进入维基百科(许多代理也被屏蔽了),总而言之,不是简单的停止编辑。

One answer to this problem is for Wikipedia to end anonymous editing and force user accounts on anyone that wants to contribute.

对于这个问题维基百科停止了匿名编辑,如果用户想要发布就要通过自己的帐户。

Digg blocks accounts based on IP address, too. I wonder if they’ve also banned Qatar.

Digg也屏蔽了基于IP地址的帐户。我想知道是否他们也禁止了卡塔尔。
