    In one of my several trails I got this

    What does it mean ?
    Is it funny ?
    Is it scary?


    Not a good sign though. Wikipedia is Top 10 websites according to traffic.

    In the meanwhile, I can see it online again.

    And by the way, I read their blog about the server failure http://techblog.wikimedia.org/ and worth a mention that this blog allows dofollow comments with instant approval. Good News for Bad Guys :p It has attracted over 100 comments on the latest post ( about the failure of wikipedia servers ) in last 1 hours only.

    It's because we didn't donate to wikipedia :D and now we have to suffer to consequence.
    Luckily it works now.

    Wikipedia is very good site. We have to donate something for getting benefit of the information.

    @moderators. Wikipedia is up and running again. So this thread is misleading the viewers. Must be locked now.
