In the interest of Wikipedia-style fact-citation, here's a quote from Wikipedia:
"During the blackout, Wikipedia is accessible on mobile devices and
smart phones. You can also view Wikipedia normally by disabling
JavaScript in your browser, as explained on this Technical FAQ page.
Our purpose here isn't to make it completely impossible for people to
read Wikipedia, and it's okay for you to circumvent the blackout. We
just want to make sure you see our message. "

Or stop the loading before the banner comes up.

Well, I must admit, they succeeded in making me install AdBlock - just to block 
this banner (it really is a JavaScript trick).

Yes, it's being done in JavaScript so people who need to can get around it;
also, the mobile site is working normally.

Maybe it is only a JavaScript trick. In Firefox (with JavaScript) I see 
the complete a page before it is overwritten by the protest page. In 
Konqueror of KDE 3 (with and without JavaScript) I can read the Wiki pages 
without problems. Edit however is really disabled. Sometimes I am glad to 
have the old technology available. :-)
