Submitted URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Science/Suggested category: Unrated

Your comments:

Although the category listed above is "Reference", when I attempt to visit this and other science articles on Wikipedia, I am informed that the page is also "Adult/Mature Content", which I assume is the reason it is blocked. Please fix.

Thank you for the opportunity to reply to your email. Attached is a screen shot of the results of attempting to connect to the website given below. As you can see, it is categorized in two ways: "Adult/Mature Content;Reference".

Please eliminate the first of these categorizations.

V/R,

Φ

Dr. Φ,

A member of my team incorrectly rated en.wikipedia.org/wiki as Adult/Mature Content and Reference while attempting to directory rate a page within Wikipedia. She corrected it 28 minutes later (that was 19 hours ago) but during that time a category update file was built and several customers (including the BigGovernmentAgency) downloaded it. Once you download a new category update file from us you should see the restriction has been removed. We create update files every 4 hours but the BigGovernmentAgency only downloads once per day.

Apologies for the inconvenience,

Tony Comstock

Tony:

Thank you for your prompt reply. Which article in Wikipedia is it that Blue Coat is rating "Adult/Mature Content"?

V/R,

Φ

There are many. The one germane to this conversation is  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibrators (you asked).
