The server at en.wikipedia.org is taking too long to respond.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in afew moments. If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection. If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
After a long wait. Been like this for several hours now. Most sites no problem Cheers, P
