Is it still possible to access Wikipedia in any way?

The Wikipedia community, as part of their request to the Wikimedia Foundation to carry out this protest, asked us to ensure that we make English Wikipedia accessible in some way during an emergency. The English Wikipedia will be accessible on mobile devices and smart phones. Because the protest message is powered by JavaScript, it's also possible to view Wikipedia by completely disabling JavaScript in your browser.



They post it on their website, so... yeah. It's intended.

Facebook needs to put something up. They can reach all those people who don't know what the internet is beyond facebook.

b-b-b-b-but Farmville!

seriously you'd see the biggest bitching and complaining from users like my mom, I think she thinks Facebook is the landing page for Farmville, 99% of her status updates are about that damn game.
