A lot of people in the world are tragically uninformed about current events. When the entire english speaking world tries to access wiki that day they will know about it and in an inconvenient way that a banner add just does not convey.
If it is important enough for Wiki to lose advertising dollars I support them.

What they should do is expose the fed for what it is on there site all day, whatever some one searches on wiki, they go to the same page, the fed bullshit page

Yes, because that is somehow relevant to the anti-piracy software they are protesting....

My point man, if you would know just how many people do not about all these issues.
Everyone i talk to either dont care or dont know... This country is fucked with people like that

I understand that and I see how important the Fed is to you.
However, Wiki doesnt care about the fed right now...
So your suggestion makes no sense for them at this time.

All searches link randomly to ndaa, bsa or dmca. Much more effective idea.

People would just think they had a virus.
I am sure that something will be posted on the site that explains why they are not available.

Honestly.... It's Wikipedia, the online dictionary "ANYONE CAN EDIThttp://www.foxnews.com/topics/scitech/technology/wikipedia.htm#r_src=ramp"!Half of the definitions are based on opinion not fact.

They have some pretty sweet game play guides and other stuff that makes the site not worthless...
I wouldnt base a master's degree college paper on it however.

Wikipedia has a higher accuracy rate than Britannica. Wikipedia has the capability of being updated as facts are established and this alone gives it more credibility than any other source of info that does not have this capability. Furthermore, all edits are logged. Wikipedia has the distinct aim of making the sum of all human knowledge accessible to all humans.
You just parrot typical GOP memes and as such you are nothing more than a self appointed guardian of the status quo.
Anyone who takes you seriously has got to be a into demagogy.

yea because usually in my spare time i conjure up bullshit to plaster on the internet...my professors said all the hoopla about wiki is mostly bullshit-and encouraged me to use it. professors, graduates, researchers etc have the ability to spread accurate knowledge to the masses and normally dont conjure up fictional facts. and if you check out the bottom most facts are cited to credible websites and references (journal articles, peer reviewed stuff, college researches etc.)
