World’s biggest encyclopedia Wikipedia has been down some minutes ago. It is hitting nicely in twitter.

Nothing yet has come to the media officially but Wikipedia.com is not working  along with English version. Though some language version and Wikipedia.org  are still live.

It is said that Google send it’s around 80% of traffic to Wikipedia.

[Update: Wikipedia is now running smoothly after around 2-1/2 outage keeping record of longest outage in online encyclopedia world.

CNET reports

According to Jimmy Wales, the site's founder, the outage was caused by a dispute between Wikipedia's ISP, Cogent, and its hosting service, PowerMedium.

Wales said that the dispute had nothing to do with Wikipedia, but rather involved what Wikipedia was told were other "bad" customers. However, when Cogent pulled a block of IP addresses, the group of addresses Wikipedia was leasing were included, and the site went down.
