1st May 2012 - "Wikipedia down in Pakitan" Reported. Solution = Go to wikipedia mobile version. en.m.wikipedia.org
Since 1st May 2012, it has been reported by 'GkWmeer' that Wikipedia is down in Pakistan.
Are you experiencing the same problem?
GkWmeer is unsure whether it is blocked, banned or 'just' down in Pakitan, if you can confirm that would be wonderful.
You can still access wikipedia by accessing wikipedia's mobile version.
'en.m.wikipedia.org' All you've to do is add the letter 'm' in the middle of the regular wikipedia address :)

INTERNET HISTORY IN THE MAKING - WIKIPEDIA'S ACTION
" SOPA initiative
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thank you.
The Wikipedia blackout is over and you have spoken. Over 150 million people saw our message asking if you could imagine a world without free knowledge. You said no. You shut down Congress’s switchboards. You melted their servers. Your voice was loud and strong. Millions of people have spoken in defense of a free and open Internet.
For us, this is not about money. It’s about knowledge. As a community of authors, editors, photographers, and programmers, we invite everyone to share and build upon our work.
Our mission is to empower and engage people to document the sum of all human knowledge, and to make it available to all humanity, in perpetuity. We care passionately about the rights of authors, because we are authors.
SOPA and PIPA are not dead: they are waiting in the shadows. What’s happened in the last 24 hours, though, is extraordinary. The Internet has enabled creativity, knowledge, and innovation to shine. And as Wikipedia and other websites went dark, you’ve directed that energy to protecting it.
We’re turning the lights back on. Help us keep them shining brightly.
Read more about the blackout."

WIKIPEDIA ENGLISH DOWN - A PROTEST - LET INTERNET REMAIN FREE! WIKIPEDIA VOICES FOR THE BENEFIT FOR THE WORLD. LET INFORMATION REMAIN FREE, ACCESIBLE!
What you can do, is simply spread the word.
"How could SOPA and PIPA hurt Wikipedia?
- SOPA and PIPA are a threat to Wikipedia in many ways. For example, in its current form, SOPA would require Wikipedia to actively monitor every site we link to, to ensure it doesn't host infringing content. Any link to an infringing site could put us in jeopardy of being forced offline.
- I live in the United States. What's the best way for me to help?
- The most effective action you can take is to call your representatives and tell them you oppose SOPA and PIPA, and any similar legislation. Type your zipcode in the locator box to find your representatives' contact information. Text-based communication is okay, but phone calls have the most impact.
- I don't live in the United States. How can I help?
- Contact your local State Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or similar branch of government. Tell them you oppose SOPA and PIPA, and any similar legislation. SOPA and PIPA will affect sites outside of the United States, and actions to sites inside the United States (like Wikipedia) will also affect non-American readers -- like you. Calling your own government will also let them know you don't want them to create their own bad anti-Internet legislation."

wikipedia.org - What is Labor Day? (Matthew Maguire)
Labor Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the first Monday in September (September 5 in 2011) that celebrates the economic and social contributions of workers.
Recent research indicates that, in 1882, Matthew Maguire, a machinist, first proposed the holiday while serving as secretary of the CLU (Central Labor Union) of New York.[1] Others argue that it was first proposed by Peter J. McGuire of the American Federation of Labor in May 1882,[2] after witnessing the annual labor festival held in Toronto, Canada.[3]
