The Guardian has decided to run an oh-so-hilarious Guardipedia whilst Wikipedia is blocked out, where you can ask questions that you normally would use wikipedia for. The comments are mostly people talking about ways round the downtime.
The reason it pisses me off is because it's the second time the Guardian have done this kind of thing, a couple of years ago they did an 'alternative Today programme' when lots of BBC journos were on strike and the real Today programme wasn't broadcast. It seems to me that the fact that these ideas would generate traffic immediately override the fact that maybe just maybe it's going against the whole idea of the thing...
