At our university you aren't allowed to use Wiki as a reference anyway (though I suppose you can click on the links in the article and use THOSE as references...). Plus, there was a go-around (disable javascript) that I had no problems with. There were people crying here yesterday?

I saw a story somewhere (Reddit?) that collected a whole slew of comments from various places complaining they couldn't do their homework because wiki was down. It was hilarious, and I'll post if I find it.

That's depressing!

On the bright side - SOPA will get shitpiles of attention NOW if there are that many people dependent on Wikipedia.
