As part of a sustained effort against (the recently-shelved) SOPA and (still-threatening) PIPA bills before Congress and the Senate, respectively, Wikipedia has announced that they will be part of a blackout on Wednesday, January 18.
Student warning! Do your homework early. Wikipedia protesting bad law on Wednesday!
Wikipedia has posted some potential images that may adorn its home landing page rather than the usual page. Though Jimmy Wales’ tweet indicates a true blackout for Wikipedia, these images all show a “Continue to Wikipedia” link.
