I exported several XML pages from Wikipedia, and tried to import them into my local Mediawiki installation. Each time, I get errors like this:
XML import parse failure at line 54, col 436 (byte 4898; "�48.</ref>"): not well-formed (invalid token)
I can't see anything wrong with the XML --

Please be specific about which pages, and exactly how you fetched and saved them.
In particular note that some browsers default 'save as' to a mode which corrupts the file if you view it in-browser.

1. Using Firefox for Windows 1.5.0.6, went to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Export 2. entered Pete_Seeger in the export box, and clicked "export" 3. hit "view source" on my browser, and ctrl-A to select all 4. pasted the xml into textpad (textpad.com), saved as unix-style text, called Pete_Seeger.xml 4. went to my local mediawiki -- index.php?title=Special:Import&action=submit, browsed for Pete_Seeger.xml, and hit "Upload File", and got this exact message:
Import failed: XML import parse failure at line 54, col 436 (byte 4845; "�48.</ref>"): not well-formed (invalid token)
I get the same message if I save as PC-style text (with a different byte number, which reflects the additional \r in Windows-style text):
Import failed: XML import parse failure at line 54, col 436 (byte 4898; "�48.</ref>"): not well-formed (invalid token)
I'm running FreeBSD 5.4, apache 2.0.53, php 4.3.10, mysql 4.0.24, mediawiki 1.6.3
Thanks,
