well, for me wikipedia works fine now. I tried from chrome and firefox on linux, and from IE on windows. Am I doing something wrong, or did they back pff the whole thing.

Nope, it works for me. Or it doesn't work for me. Er, the SOPA black out works for me. ;)

I have to be on the English version though. The other languages just have a blackout banner at the top. The black out won't work if you have JS disabled. Also, the main page which lists all the different language choices isn't blacked out.

I got JS enabled and im on the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page link, and I just get a banner on the top.

I also tried to click in to articles, and it works fine, and I'm in NYC.

The weird thing is, that on my mobile phone, if I request desktop version, I do get the blackout page. I don't get it...
