Prior to the unblocking, 300-400 new accounts were created on Chinese Wikipedia daily. In the four days since the unblocking, the rate of new registrations more than tripled to over 1,200 daily, jumping into the second fastest growing Wikipedia after the English version. Similarly, there were 75% more articles created in the week ending on November 13th than during the week before. Coming on the same weekend that Chinese Wikipedia passed the 100,000 article mark, Lih predicted that the second 100,000 would come quickly but that the existing body of Chinese Wikipedia users would have their hands full teaching the new users and teaching them basic Wikipedia policies and norms.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.andrewlih.com/blog/2006/11/13/chinese-wikipedias-surge-in-growth/| title=”Chinese Wikipedia’s Surge in Growth” | accessdate=2006-12-24| publisher=andrewlih.com blog}}</ref> [...] [...] On [[10 November]] [[2006]], blogger [[Andrew Lih]] reported that Chinese Wikipedia appeared to have been fully unblocked.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.andrewlih.com/blog/2006/11/10/chinese-wikipedia-now-fully-unblocked/| title=”Chinese Wikipedia now fully unblocked?” | accessdate=2006-12-24| publisher=andrewlih.com blog}}</ref> Lih confirmed the full unblocking several days later and offered a partial analysis of the effects based on the rate of new account creation on Chinese Wikipedia.
