It's because this line in config.xml of wikipedia.acx:
Code:
<kindle:requiresRegistration>true</kindle:requiresRegistration>
Kindle doesn't communicate directly with Wikipedia, it uses these two Amazon service points:
Code:
https://wiki-acx.amazon.com/V1/wiki
https://wiki-acx.amazon.co.uk/V1/wiki
It should be easy to change the parameter to false and rebuild the ACX, if you want to give it a try.
