Hi, I am a phd student from Computer Science Department, University of California, Santa Barbara. I would like to ask if anyone knows if Wikipedia still keeps the old data of the Wikipedia English Text snapshots? From this website http://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/, it seems that they keep the English snapshot of Wikipedia for the last 10 months. Does anyone know if they have the snapshot of the ones from 201304 to 201404? I downloaded these datasets previously to write a research paper but for the reason of disk failure, I lost it...(So BAD LUCK!!!) Thus, I am writing to check if I can download the old versions of it? If yes, could anyone please share me the link of the old 13 version datasets? It would be a great help for me if you can help! Thanks a lot!

Hello, I am afraid that the Internet Archive does not have a copy (I did not manage to save one). There may be other folks on this list that might have the dataset that you might need though. On Tue, Jun 9, 2015 at 6:09 AM, Xin Jin <xin.jin1020(a)gmail.com> wrote: -- Best regards, Hydriz Scholz

Unfortunately it is on an archive server with poor upload (from the server perspective) capacity, so I'd like you to see this as some last resort if no one else seems to have the data.
