Relatedly, where is the updated, latest discussion on what Wikimedia's response (if anything) is going to be? Presumably there is are several on-wiki debates, but because there are different potential "levels" of blackout (all project blackout, geo-located blackout, single-project blackout, protest-banner but not a full blackout, etc. etc.) where is the central/official discussion taking place to get community consensus for any action?
FWIW, I'm in favour of some form of protest response, probably an all-project blackout timed to coencide with the probable blackout of other major sites. But, if that actually happened, would it be possible for the community to still log in and use that day as a "housekeeping" day to clear away lots of behind-the-scenes backlogs?

Emily,
Quick request: Wikipedia is considering going dark to protest SOPA and PIPA, the Internet censorship bills. *It'd be huge news, jar rank-and-file Internet users out of complacency, and serve as a turning point in the effort to beat these bills.*
*Will you encourage Wikipedia to protest censorship by going dark? Just click here.*
And you can use these links to ask your friends to join the cause:
If you're already on *Facebook*, click here to share with your friends. If you're already on *Twitter*, click here to tweet about the campaign: Tweet
