New hardware ordered
by Daniel Kinzler 29 Jun '11

29 Jun '11

Hi all I'm happy to let you know that new hardware has been ordered by Wikimedia Deutschland and will arrive probably in about two weeks. We will get two new systems: * A more powerful web server, to replace hemlock: Sun Fire X4150, 2x Quad-Core Xeon, 8GB RAM, 2x73GB SAS HDD. The current web server only has two cores. * Another database server, to be used for S1 (english wikipedia), so S1 and S3 no longer have to share a server: Sun Fire X4250, 2x Quad-Core Xeon, 32GB RAM, 16x146GB SAS RAID. This should improve performance and give us some head space for growth. Once the new servers arrive, S3 will be re-imported too, so we will have live data again. Any ideas for names? To stay with the nightshade theme, how about Jurubeba and Erubia? Or perhaps we go the "witches' weed" way, with Datura and Mandrake? Henbane is taken, i think. Amanita sounds nice, too :) A third server has been ordered, which will also be installed in Amsterdam, but will not be part of the toolserver cluster. It's a storage server (X4540, 24TB RAID) that will keep a live backup of all media files. Cheers, Daniel

Query Service Inquiry
by Jim Hutchinson 04 May '11

04 May '11

(I tried to post this question before but was not properly registered for the mailing list. If this is a repeat I apologize.) I am in need of some guidance on how to get some data out of the query service. I signed up for an account, but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to create an "issue" or if there is some other process I should follow. I'm also not sure if the query service is right way to go about this. In short, as part of a graduate research project, I need to select about 100 articles in Wikipedia, find the most frequent editors (there is a "contributors" tool which ranks them) such as those with more than 10 edits to the article and then for each of these editors generate a list of all pages they have edited with a frequency count for each. Does this sound like the query service is the right way to go about collecting this data and if so can someone point me to the proper procedure for making such a request? Thanks. -- Jim

Global contrib count
by Manish Goregaokar 23 Apr '11

23 Apr '11

Exactly how resource-intensitive would be a bunch of queries that got the editcount from every wiki that you find in toolserver.wiki (821 of them). Basically it'll be a PHP code, which cycles through all the rows in toolserver.wiki, then connects to each server/db in turn (Ill ORDER BY server so I don't have to connect-disconnect every time), and runs SELECT user_editcount,user_registration FROM mw_user WHERE user_name="foo"; Thanks, Manish*Earth* <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Manishearth>*Talk* • Stalk<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Manishearth>

PGP support for ts-admins address
by River Tarnell 14 Apr '11

14 Apr '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, The ts-admins contact address is now PGP-enabled. This means all mail coming this from address will be signed, and if you send encrypted email, you will receive encrypted email in reply. Notifications to admins are also encrypted, and the ticket system's web interface is accessed via SSL, so your mail should never be sent over the Internet in plaintext. However, mail is stored unencrypted in the database, so this is not secure if the ticket system itself is compromised. For this to work, your key needs to be available from the PGP keyserver network (the ticket system uses wwwkeys.uk.pgp.net). The key ID for ts-admins is: pub 4096R/E04DCDD7 2011-04-13 [expires: 2012-04-12] Key fingerprint = 5A5E 8634 DD8E DB05 F36E 3969 7035 1043 E04D CDD7 uid Wikimedia Toolserver ticket system <accounts(a)toolserver.org> uid Wikimedia Toolserver ticket system <ts-admins(a)toolserver.org> ... which is available from wwwkeys, and is also listed at <https://fingerprints.toolserver.org>. - river. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (SunOS) iEYEARECAAYFAk2l9k8ACgkQIXd7fCuc5vIK3ACfbtDHqppbthS4PYQgMUeg/QSK GdoAoL2dhZOIgP6W1jWZ9JogIh/F/Fi1 =BIvL -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Vandal obscene redirect from Toolserver
by Shadow His 13 Apr '11

13 Apr '11

Hello. http://toolserver.org/~kalan is redirected to Russian Wikipedia article «Хуй (значения)». This is very incorrect redirect («Хуй» («Khuy») in Russian mean obscene word, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mat_(Russian_profanity) ) and in fact a vandalism: this toolserver account contains statistics about Arbcom elections (example: http://toolserver.org/~kalan/arb10/), and this redirect mean «russian arbitrators is khuy». Owner of this Tollserver account does not respond to abuse reports in-wiki. Please delete redirect and replace it with standard TOC or blank page. -- His Shadow.
