Wiki _claimed_ to be sick last week...

... but was visible on mobile devices or if you had Javascript switched 
off.

"During the blackout, Wikipedia is accessible on mobile devices and smart 
phones. You can also view Wikipedia normally by disabling JavaScript in 
your browser, as explained on this Technical FAQ page. Our purpose here 
isn't to make it completely impossible for people to read Wikipedia, and 
it's okay for you to circumvent the blackout. We just want to make sure 
you see our message."

Not exactly a blackout, though it gave the press something to write 
about, their normal source of "reliable info" being temporarily 
unavailable. ;-)
