I find Wikipedia's blackout to be lacking in expedient information, and I see those tweets as evidence.
No where on that first page does it say "SOPA", "PIPA", or anything about censorship. I think the use of bigger, bolder text would've gotten the message across better than the more aesthetically-pleasing splash page they have now. Imagine how much more backlash there'd be if it had a look more inline with that have http://smbc-comics.com
It comes off as an issue that Wikipedia cares about, but doesn't explicitly tell me why I should care about it.
