I come from Barcelona

Panic!
Wikipedia's servers appear to be down. Accordingly, I don't know anything at all. This is scary.

I'm glad it's not just me. Actually I often have this experience whenever I'm not near a computer (well, I suppose I have my phone, but I've yet to be desperate enough to look up a Wikipedia article on my phone. Also if I did, I'd see something that I wanted to edit, which would be a right pain when doing it on a phone).

Weirdly, it doesn't bother me if I'm away from a computer. I just say "Ah, I'll google it later" (and 9 times out of 10 I forget).

Today I was really only verifying something I knew, not even looking it up, before I commented on another journal. I'm not sure whether this is (a) a good thing, because I check my facts (or at least check that other people believe the same wrong facts) or (b) a bad thing, because I've become the internet equivalent of institutionalised :)

(b) -- where would we be without sounding off airily while not in full possession of the facts?
