A colleague shared this link with me: Students Mourn Wikipedia Blackout.
The blog post summarizes Wikipedia’s decision to create a one-day blackout to protest Congress’s consideration of two controversial laws on Internet sites. The comments following the post are priceless and are a testament to Wikipedia’s popularity as a source of any and all educational material. Students’ “colorful metaphors” [as cursing was described by Captain Kirk in Star Trek IV] are priceless: simplistic, expressive and responses from desperation at being unable to conduct academic research.
