Sending out a press release would be an awfully foolish thing to do. As long as I get the error message "Server not found" every other time (and I'm not exaggerating) I click on a page and as long as uploads, search function etc. etc. are disabled, drawing attention to Wikipedia would be enormously counter-productive. Just imagine the same thing happened to the IMDb or similar sites!
Still hoping that Wikipedia will run properly one day,
