If I go to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia all I see is a holding page & any links to Wikipedia articles from Google are resulting in 404 errors. Bizarre.

The owner of this web site has not put up any web pages yet. Please come back later.
You should replace this page with your own web pages as soon as possible.
Unless you changed its configuration, your new server is configured as follows:
Configuration files can be found in /etc/lighttpd. Please read /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/README file.
The DocumentRoot, which is the directory under which all your HTML files should exist, is set to /var/www.
CGI scripts are looked for in /usr/lib/cgi-bin, which is where Ubuntu packages will place their scripts. You can enable cgi module by using command "lighty-enable-mod cgi".
Log files are placed in /var/log/lighttpd, and will be rotated weekly. The frequency of rotation can be easily changed by editing /etc/logrotate.d/lighttpd.
The default directory index is index.html, meaning that requests for a directory /foo/bar/ will give the contents of the file /var/www/foo/bar/index.html if it exists (assuming that /var/www is your DocumentRoot).
You can enable user directories by using command "lighty-enable-mod userdir"Comment

What does nslookup say?

yes, I suspect a virus has taken control of your browser. I had one a bit ago that did similar things for Wikipedia and Microsoft sites, but only when you tried to get to them via a Google link. The Google Redirect Virus, t'internet liked to call it.Comment

I understand that the US is snooping IP addresses, running them through a secret person identifier, banning users from wikipedia & other sites and then despatching a snatch squad of highly trained CIA agents to apprehend said user.
