So me and my friend really needed Wikipedia to do this project but obviously it's down or whatever to boycott the SOPA bill. Well, if u click on the link from google u see the page for a second and then it goes black. So once it shows the right screen, hit the big X to the right of the Website address. It is where the refresh button is on Firefox. And voila. Man my friend is smart.

The mobile version is still up because they can't have a non functioning app on the app store. It's a violation 😃

Or you could disable JavaScript. But you know there's no fun in that.

Searching wikipedia using the language "Simple English" works too.
