I have a question, is Wikipedia loading for anyone?

It's not loading on either of my computers...so if the whole website's down (i.e. people here can't load) then I guess that's alright.

But if you can get it to load, do you have any ideas how I can fix my problem?

soooooooooo.....any idea on how to fix it?

i haven't been able to load it all day. any other site works fine. i've cleared my cache and all, still no luck...

that's pretty gay

i need wiki for some general info for a "project" thing i'm doing for some summer program.

like the info i need i can barely find anywhere...or at least a lot of searching pulls up nothing (although at the top of every search is WIKIPEDIA *INSERT WHAT I NEEDED HERE*) so my project is turning out very lackluster unless i can get better info.

it's for an arabic summer program, some "peace project" the teacher calls it, i'm researching iraq. can't find stuff like fashion (other than muslim tradition stuff) and entertainers and stuff.

a lot of the list she put together is dumb (come on FASHION) and stuff like politicians...i could only find a guy who worked with the U.S. and was up for arrest a couple years ago.


i'm going way off topic now.

have you tried using the google translator trick?

what trick...

http://www.google.com/translate?langpair=en|en&u=www.forbiddensite.com

translation from english to english not supported


:EDIT:

nevermind i just tried a regular proxy and it worked. for some reason a proxy did not come to mind.

yeah also if you pick a different language as the "from" it will work fine. i just do "spanish to english" on english sites and it works fine

http://www.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org&hl=en&ie=UTF8&sl=es&tl=en

yeah i tried that after the english to english didn't work.

that still didn't work.

only a regular proxy works, so w/e. i just hope the isp fixes it....some time.

:edit:
i just tried the google thing again and it worked now. wow, stupid internet
