+1 to Ting's idea about a statement

Also we can support from our corner sending tweets and e-mails to our local
embassies. Our friends from Turkey or someone who speaks turkish can
support us with a hasthag? I posted #WikipediaSansürlendi but maybe is
incorrect.

Best,

>> It was not initially clear why the ban had been imposed.

>> People in the capital Istanbul were unable to access any Wikipedia pages

>> "After technical analysis and legal consideration based on the Law Nr.

>> Information and Communication Technologies Authority was quoted as saying.
>> No reason was given.
>> Turkey Blocks and Turkish media, including the Hurriyet Daily News, said

>> Social media was in uproar as news of the ban emerged, with some users
>> speculating that it might be a bid to suppress criticism on President
>> Recep
>> Tayyip Erdogan's Wikipedia page.
>> Mr Erdogan narrowly won a controversial 16 April referendum on increasing
>> his powers, but the issue has deeply divided the country.
>> Turkey has temporarily blocked popular social media sites including
>> Facebook and Twitter in the past, especially in the wake of mass protests
>> or terror attacks.
>> The government has previously denied censoring the internet, blaming
>> outages on spikes in usage after major events.
