I'm sure you're all aware that Wikipedia is currently down and output this error message, but I would like to point out that the e-mail address linked to is "wikidown@bomis.com". Now, I haven't tried this e-mail address just now, but I did last month, and it bounced back then, and I asked for this error message to be changed to contain a valid e-mail address, but it's the same one, so I guess I have reason to believe it is still bouncing.
Can someone change this e-mail address to one that works? Or is there a particular reason it needs to be one that bounces (give the user the impression we're listening, but don't receive heaps of complaints during each and every outage? ;-) )?
Greetings, Timwi
Maybe the smoking gun /kuro5hin article may brought too many surfers to the beach? -- Are overall page requests spiking or not? Im getting the message -- but also intermittent access as well.

I can't say that I know why it bounced last month, but the address should be working correctly...
I'm CC'ing this message there as well, just to test.
