Is anyone else having terrible lag times when trying to delete articles? Quite a while back I noticed that if I don't get the confirmation screen within three seconds, I won't get it at all. If it takes longer than three seconds, what will happen instead is that it eventually times out and I get a message that the Wikipedia server didn't respond to the request. Usually, when the first try doesn't get a response within three seconds, I'll click stop and re-click confirm. The deletion usually occurs on the second or third try.
Yes, it's been really bad the last couple of days. I have made ten attempts at some deletions and have finally given up, just put the {{delete}} header on the page for later deletion when the process actually works. Of course, when I brought it up on the Village Pump, I was ridiculed instead of given any constructive advice.
Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
