When you search at the homepage pick a language other than english. Then put the URL in google translate. This worked for me.

press esc while its loading should work

 

[Abc567def]

before the page has the chance to fully load press the stop loading "x" in your browser and you will be able to read and access all of the information. you will have to do this every time it is loading a wiki page though. but you won't have to translate or anything

Yoda I am.

 

[DayMan]

Not really sure if Wikipedia is that reliable of a source of information...

 

[Mike-O]

More reliable than contemporary encyclopedias.

 

[_Ryan_]

just tried it ... it works

 

[@skiinmitch]

if you have google chrome choose a random language and just simply allow google chrome to translate to english

Don't you have like a textbook that came with your class?

 

[uosdwiSrjewoH]

ya, took me about 10 seconds to circumvent their protest. fortunately, i don't think many SOPA advocates will be able to understand something so technically complex

 

[smuggs]

the internet is uncovering histories secrets, and the government is pissed.

 

[An10a_Eng]

its not like they didnt announce that they were gonna black it out..oh and try using your book

 

[Jane6]

I just searched to see where Kelowna is. Due to SOPA, now I will never know.

 

[pigglywiggly]

well i guess it pissing you guys off is getting their message across about the whole SOPA and PIPA thing....

 

[oil.]

turn off javascript for your browser, it fucks with a couple other tings but it works.

 

[derpina]

How do you not know where Kelowna is?!?!

Anyone that skis should know where Kelowna is!!!!

Only the sexiest male pro skier in the world is from Kelowna...

 

[DirtYStylE]

I have never had a teacher let me use wikipedia for a source before...

They always claim that everyone has the ability to change the information so everyone is not a reliable source. My teachers always require a scholarly source.

 

[Doug.]

Good for you

 

[Jane6]

well I've never been across the Atlantic, but I know its somewhere on the west coast. I merely wanted Gnartron to know I was stalking him.

Enlighten me, who is this wet dream on legs?

 

[eheath]

Just use google? are you kidding me?

 

[derpina]

Hahaha Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada... West Coast! =)

TJ Schiller. I will marry him!

 

[Jane6]

[.Midwest]

No dude, it's alt + f4.

 

[abathinggrape]

Ryan, delete "System 32" and you'll be all set!

 

[eastcoastplanker]

[Holte]

This. From Wikipedia:

Is it still possible to access Wikipedia in any way?

Yes. During the blackout, Wikipedia is accessible on mobile devices and smart phones. You can also view Wikipedia normally by disabling JavaScript in your browser, as explained on this Technical FAQ page. 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.

 

[bdowning]

Turned off until 11 PM EST

[Ryguy920]

damn some people just gotta hate.... see if i care. its just so much easier for reference and to put stuff in context to just type each thing into the wikipedia search bar, then get all of this organized info. of course i could use google. wikipedia is just easier.
