I was accessing a page regarding the war in Iran, and found that the page "twelve day war" is completely inaccessible, and returns this error. Simply searching for the page returns this error. Reloading the page, clearing cache, and using a different Firefox profile did not cause a change in the result. For some reason, taking a screenshot of the full page (but not part of the visible page) let me access the rest of the article (I have cropped most of it in the photo) this is the first time I have seen this on any article in the 15+ years I have been using Wikipedia.

Error:
An automated filter has identified this page view as potentially automated, so it has been blocked. Please report this error; you will automatically be granted access.

Pressing "Report error" doesn't show the article, it takes me here: SEE REPLY
Shouldn't this error apply to a particular user account, and not an entire article on a major topic?

🧵 …ICANN reserves .internal for private use at the DNS level:

Vint Cerf revealed Google already uses the string, as do plenty of others.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has agreed to reserve the .internal top-level domain so it can become the equivalent to using the 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, and 192.168.0.0/16 IPv4 address blocks for internal networks.
