Wikipedia Is Down For Us. What About You?

World's biggest human edited encyclopedia, 'The Wikipedia' seems to be down. The front page of the website now shows following message -

<em>Our servers are currently experiencing a technical problem. This is probably temporary and should be fixed soon. Please #-Link-Snipped-# in a few minutes.</em>

<em>You may be able to get further information in the #-Link-Snipped-# channel on the #-Link-Snipped-#.</em>

<em>The Wikimedia Foundation is a non-profit organisation which hosts some of the most popular sites on the Internet, including Wikipedia. It has a constant need to purchase new hardware. If you would like to help, please #-Link-Snipped-#.</em>

Update 7:38 PM IST : The images aren't loading on any of the internal pages of the site.

Update: 7:43 PM IST: Here's what we're noticing on the front page of www.wikipedia.org
