Who owns Wikipedia? It's the people who spend time on it, whether we like what they do or not.

If they chose to oppose the law, maybe it tells us something, don't you think?

Like I said, they did not give people time to vote, nor did they provide any notice of the planned actions beforehand.

We'll be more than happy to hear any real wikipedia contributors' points on the subject. We're not happy to hear for random people who aren't active contributors to wikipedia but still think wikipedia owes something to them.

They don't technically need to have all the "85 rouble party" crowd to do the voting before deciding anything. It's not how wikipedia works.

Why do you keep replying to yourself?

Sorry. For some reason, the reply link was unavailable on come comments. (workaround is to use "link" and open single comment with a reply field)

It's not bug, it's a feature. Replying is only possible a few minutes after the comment was posted, to prevent discussion going out of hand.

Besides I don't understand what wikipedia did wrong.

Ah, thanks, the delay does not seem to be explained anywhere.

About Wikipedia. Do you still remember the SOPA blackout day? Everybody was warned about upcoming blackout a few weeks beforehand, and most importantly, pretty much everyone supported the blackout, thus reaching the consensus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Consensus

Today, Russian Wiki is closed. The decision was taken yesterday by a bunch of admins, who started a poll, without any warning and without anyone prepared. It is a violation of consensus rules as described in the link above: "Consensus ... nor is it the result of a vote."

Admins' actions today are a blatant violation of these rules by Coordinated actions, Meatpuppetry and are biased in general: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:False_consensus
