Outdated
[edit]There is an outdated tag on this article. How is this article outdated? Dustin (talk) 17:20, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
Unclear!
[edit]The most serious flaw is that the article does not state clearly that [1] The bill was not enacted into law. [2] There is now no manifest momentum behind enactment. [3] There are still strong forces biding their time for a ripe moment to push thru this kind of bill. GreggEdwards (talk) 20:22, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
File:Wikipedia Blackout Screen.jpg to appear as POTD soon
[edit]Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Wikipedia Blackout Screen.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on January 18, 2018. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2018-01-18.

Wiki bots SOPA-style censor this article
[edit]See the talk entries above:
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page: http://www. avaaz.org/en/save_the_internet Triggered by \ bavaaz\.org\b on the local blacklist ...
Isn't it funny metafiction trolling? Wiki bots censoring wiki article about automatic censoring of websites. Discuss please here or on my Talk page.
Update: Haha, I get
"Topic cannot be added due to unknown error".
So preventive censorship by WP bots.
Let me try hack the URL above, thus fighting the WP tools itself so as to alert WP about WP... Zezen (talk) 08:37, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
It worked only now. Censor bots do not like to be quoted, it seems. Triple meta. Zezen (talk) 08:39, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
