Dear all, dear Tim,
I want to extend the "thank you" from the Uzbek Wikipedia community. I let
them use their own words (although, translated for the benefit of this
list).
user 1: wow, it's great! who has done it
user 2: wikimedia programmers
user 1; super! real heroes!
user 3: thank you, thank you, thank you!
user 4: so now we're waiting for google to index uzwiki
user 2: it's awesome, i cannot even express how awesome it is
user 2: Thank you guys for helping us. And special thanks to Tim Starling.
user 2: We're going to introduce Tim Starling day in Uzbek Wikipedia as well
I also pinged my contacts at Google, hoping that they can schedule the
reindexing soon. Thanks to everyone involved.
Rahmat va salomlar!

ask me, I would suggest to be "very

setting the rel="caonical" would already be really, really helpful.
This is done now. It would be good if Google could crawl
uz.wikipedia.org to update the canonical URLs.
In case anyone is wondering, I don't think this would be a good thing
to do on
zh.wikipedia.org. The Chinese government would happily block
*.wikipedia.org port 443 if it became popular. At least the current
situation provides a way to work around keyword filtering for people
who are sufficiently motivated -- if HTTPS was blocked, it would be
much less useful.
