Cool!!  But if a page exists in August 2008 and not in the current dump, how are you going to compare the two pages?

Thanks for your answers so far!

I would like to compare contexts of links in two versions of Wikipedia for the purpose of named entity disambiguation (one is a current version and the other one should be from August, 2008).

It might be possible to reconstruct a version but this could be time-consuming. Additionally, wouldn't I miss those articles that have been deleted in the meantime?

Best,
Nicolai

Hi,

Why do you need a dump from 2008? You can use a recent dump and only analyze the data up to 20080103

Best,

Diederik

English, please.


Here you have one English Wikipedia dump from 20080103 http://dumps.wikimedia.org/archive/ But I remember some old dumps were corrupted.

Ariel, is that dump OK?
