Yeah, I've got a hive query running looking at precisely this problem. Want me to share any results with Ops@, or just fire it straight at the users who brought the request to me?

Someone in ops should probably look this over:

Some of the linked userpages at Wikisource are receiving more than a quarter million hits per month. (That's about two orders of magnitude

than Jimmy Wales' page at the English Wikipedia.)
Thanks for the heads-up. We haven't had any indications that a DDoS is happening so far; if someone's attempting to do that, they're probably not doing a very good job :)
As for the hits of those pages: a quick grep revealed hits by IPs belonging to a Polish ISP. Probably some bot crawling our projects? I'm not sure if we should care :)
(looping in analytics@ as this is probably significant for them)
