Are you having difficulty accessing any other sites? Wikipedia is working perfectly for me (in the UK), so it's very unlikely to be a problem with Wikipedia. The problem must be at your end. bits.wikimedia.org is where things like the CSS come from. Try en.wikipedia.org - that's the actual domain you need to be able to access. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
