currently the wiki-down message reads:
Sorry! The wiki is experiencing some technical difficulties, and cannot contact the database server.
In the interest of better usability and comprehensibility, please could someone change it to:
Wikipedia is currently experiencing technical difficulties. Please try again later. We apologise for the inconvenience.
Please also let me know how many more times I need to post this until someone at least replies to it, much less actually changes it.
Err, you don't need to remove the actual reason (inability to contact the database server) in order to make it "comprehensible". I wouldn't be surprised if the techies previously ignored the request because they refused to blithely dumb the message down.
