Thats right Wikipedia has officially that they will indeed be blacking out against SOPA on January 18th 2012.

Might want to get your Encyclopedia Britannica set out of storage: Wikipedia will go dark Wednesday, joining a growing number of popular websites staging an online revolt against two anti-piracy bills.
Founder Jimmy Wales made the announcement in tweets on Monday, telling followers his goal is to "melt phone systems in Washington" in opposition to the Stop Online Piracy Act in the House and the PROTECT IP Act in the Senate.

The online protest puts Wikipedia in the company of other websites such as Reddit and popular games such as Minecraft in leveraging its substantial size and clout to campaign against the bills. Wales suggested on Twitter the impact of the blackout could be significant, given that "comScore estimates the English Wikipedia receives 25 million average daily visitors globally."
The site began weeks ago soliciting input from users on whether to implement a full or partial blackout of Wikipedia. Wales said Monday that the protest will involve only the English site.
"Final details under consideration but consensus seems to be for 'full' rather than 'soft' blackout!," he tweeted.

This should help the protest considerably from the websites I have seen I think Wikipedia has more visitors daily then all the other ones combined. Wikipedia has an estimated 25 million visitors daily globally. So that should help a lot and maybe be a fucking slap in the face for the United States government. :rolleyes:
