Looks like it might be you. Why? Often, when a large amount of people all go on Wikipedia, the server's get slow. It would be the same for Mahalo. It could be possible that you are going on at a time which is very popular. Try going on at times which are not that busy like after work or during work - but in the morning or late night.
Of course, that being said, it could be your broswer. Try the new Safari or Google Chrome (which I use and is very fast) - this could be the problem. If you use IE, it is much slower than newer broswer's available.
As well, have you got a lot of programs open or is your computer memory or hard drive quite full. This may also reduce your viewings of Wikipedia.
I haven't noticed any problem with Wikipedia - but with all those articles, it could be having problems!!!

Is Wikipedia loading very slowly these days?
Is it just me, or are other people getting this too?
Wikipedia takes an age to load any page for me, and has been doing that consistently for a few days I think.
The only change I can think of at my end is that Firefox updated some of its plug-ins, and they shouldn't really affect Wikipedia more than anything else.
Any explanations or suggestions (if it's something fixable at my end) welcomed.
