Registan - Why Did Uzbekistan Ban Wikipedia?

Apparently the Uzbek Wikipedia has been blocked in Uzbekistan, but no one's sure why. It's full of useless trivia and nothing there seems threatening Islam Karimov (T-H-L-K-D)'s regime. Ironically, Uzbeks will now go to the unbanned Russian Wikipedia which has more critical articles about Karimov.

According to this item reported in the newsfeed forum,
QUOTE
I have a suspicion that what prompted the Wikipedia ban at the end of the January was the addition, on January 24, of the following entries: “seks”, “penis”, “gey”, and “jinsiy aloqa” (sexual relations), which come complete with helpful illustrations. This would be in keeping with the government’s aversion to overt sexual content, which they believe threatens national values.

From what know of that country I have no reason at all to doubt this. What they would make of Donkey Punch I am boggled by!
