A decision by a number of UK internet providers to block a Wikipedia page showing an image of a naked girl has angered users of the popular site. The blocked page of the online encyclopaedia shows an album cover of German heavy metal band Scorpions. Internet providers acted after online watchdog the Internet Watch Foundation warned them its picture may be illegal. Some volunteers who run Wikipedia said it was not for the foundation to censor one of the web's most popular sites.    (source: news.bbc.co.uk)
