There are a few other ways to circumvent the blackout: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/English_Wikipedia_SOPA_blackout/Technical_FAQ#Are_there_ways_to_circumvent_the_read_blackout.3F
Disclaimer: Wikipedia is taking part in The Great Interwebs Blackout of 2012. The point of this blackout is to inform people about SOPA/PIPA and to spread awareness about the protest against it. That’s wonderful!
However, if you already know about SOPA/PIPA, there should be no reason you can’t use the English Wikipedia today. Hence this userscript.
