So as many of you know, Wikipedia is down. (the english version)
you can read about it here:
You must login or register to view this content.
You must login or register to view this content.
You must login or register to view this content.

even though they are making a point, google allows us to access wikipedia without seeing this:

You must login or register to view this content.


how?

first, search something on google:
You must login or register to view this content.

then instead of clicking on the site, click on the arrow to the right

You must login or register to view this content.

then youre gonna click on cached

and done:

You must login or register to view this content.




just in case you REALLY have to access wikipedia. hopefully their message makes a difference.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

That's great but, I don't rely on Wikipedia as a primary source or even a good secondary source for that matter :p

Nice post

Cached is usually the older version non updated article so it isn't as reliable

Actually the Wikipedia message that is displayed is run on your Java. So basically anything that doesn't have Java can access Wikipedia normally. For example, any mobile phone can access wikipedia, or you can just shut off your Javascript on your browser
