Dear Members,
I am a PhD student in a reputed university. My Research is on blog classification using
Wikipedia Categories.As for my experiment, I use 12 main categories of Wikipedia.I want to
identify " which particular article belongs to which main 12 categories?".So I
wrote a program to collect the subcategories of each article and classify based on 12
categories offline.
I have downloaded already wiki-dump which consists of around 3 million article titles.My
program takes this 3 million article titles and goes to online Wikipedia website and fetch
the subcategories.Our university network administrators are worried that, Wikipedia would
consider as DDOS attack and could block our IP address, if my program functions.In order
to get permission from Wikipedia, I was searching allover. I could able to find wikien-l
members can help me.Could you please suggest me, whom to contact, what is the procedure to
get approval for our IP address to do the process or other suggestions
Eagerly waiting for a positive reply
Thanks and RegardsRamesh
