  If you need to use english Wikipedia today you'll find it's "gone dark" to protest SOPA and PIPA. I wrote a little JavaScript snippet that unblocks the content so if you need Wikipieda today you can still use it. The explanation and bookmarklet is here:

  your javascript isn't working for me, however the pressing 'escape' as the page loads does work!
  Either way doesn't really affect the protest, I obviously still support it, even if I now can sneakily see the english content.

  FYI, the links to SOPA and PIPA still work on Wikipedia, so you can read up on what all the fuss is about:
