    English Wikipedia hasn't actually been pulled down; the site's articles are just being blocked by an overlay. So if you're on a PC and you're quick on the draw, you can stop the blackout from loading. Before you land on the Wikipedia page have a finger resting on your keyboard's escape button and then hit it as soon as you see text on your Wikipedia page of choice. Hitting escape stops your browser from continuing to load the page and the blackout overlay will be stopped.
