Wikipedia Debates Strike Over SOPA

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday December 13, 2011 @10:18PM from the but-then-where-will-we-look-up-sopa dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Jimbo Wales has suggested that English Wikipedia restrict its services for a period to protest against the anti-piracy SOPA bill in the United States. This follows a similar action by the Italian Wikipedia last month." Reader fiannaFailMan points out another bit of Wikipedia news: they've taken the wraps off a prototype for a new visual editor. A sandbox is available to try out. The Wikimedia Foundation hopes easier, more intuitive editing will shore up waning contributor numbers.

Sure do: here (notice who actually posted it, vs. who signed it). grub's "oh dear" self-response was pretty priceless.
