Several editors in different countries on the English Wikipedia have reported problems since March 21 with pages being slow to load, or not loading at all. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28technical%29#is_it_me...
As today wears on, the situation seems to be getting worse. MZMcBride has reported it, and someone has produced a graph confirming there is a problem. http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/attachments/20120324/41311a4...
Could someone from the Foundation confirm that they're looking into it? It's getting to the point where it's quite hard to edit.

This appears to have been a networking issue causing packet loss and timeouts, which should be resolved. Please reopen bug 35448 and provide details if you can reproduce the issue at this time.
Thanks to Leslie and Tim for investigating.

Erik, I've just tried loading some of the pages I was having problems with. They're loading well, and preview is working well again. Many thanks to everyone who helped to fix this.
