As a writer, I believe the current message ("The Wikipedia community has 
authorized...") is long and wordy and therefore not likely to be read by most 
users. I recommend shortening & simplifying it. Here's an example that removes 
30+ words and preserves the meaning:

WE NEED YOU TO PROTECT FREE SPEECH ONLINE
The English Wikipedia is "blacked out" for 24 hours to protest two bills before 
the United States Congress, known as SOPA and PIPA. These bills endanger free 
speech in the United States and abroad, setting a frightening precedent of 
Internet censorship for the world.

Today we ask you to take action.
[[Take action]] [[Learn more]]

Just a suggestion.
