Also they consider themselves an international website even though they're based on U.S. Servers.* This is unfairly punishing non-Americans who have no say in this, and basically implying that non-Americans who use / edit / etc the English Wikipedia have less value.

2) Any owner/CEO or whatever has the power to do as they (or their board, or whatever) wish. You don't have a right to Wikipedia.
3. Maybe you should protest the black out by blacking out Wikipedia... tomorrow.
