This message I see quite often:
Sorry- we have a problem...
The
wikimedia.org servers are currently overloaded, or down.

most likely temporary
To get information on what's going on you can visit #wikipedia.
An "offsite" status page is hosted on OpenFacts.
Donations
Due to the ever-increasing number of people visiting Wikipedia and its sister Wikimedia
projects, we have a constant need to buy new hardware to keep the site running. If
you'd like to help, please donate.
Some links to pass the time:
* Wikipedia's ever-increasing popularity
* Paper describing the wikimedia network structure
