After reading this I just downloaded a previous version of Wikipedia, and now I have it. This article won’t be read by *everyone*, so it does no harm. I’m glad this article is here.

“Our purpose here isn’t to make it completely impossible for people to read Wikipedia, and it’s okay for you to circumvent the blackout. We just want to make sure you see our message.”

as mentioned in a previous comment above, its educating the masses.. sort of what Wikipedia is all about.

That method did work, though they have changed it where accessing an article through Google no longer works. I would imagine the Wikipedia folks must be reading these articles as well.

The main page is blacked out, but not the articles themselves. If you need to access a Wikipedia article, you can simply Google the term you want, and then access that article from Google.
