Does anyone know when the enwiki dump will get fixed? In response to Fred, I doubt you will ever get any of the ISP's on anyone's side but their own. They have no incentive to listen and Wikipedia has a serious credibility problem with many of them due to the fact that any of the 600+ admins can file these reports, and many of them are malicious and spoofed. Your suggestion they should only come from the ARBCOM is a good one. Last time an administrator sent an ISP complaint in on me last year, the email was thrown in the trash -- and after they reviewed the article on me and the press issues with the JFK story, they told me they won't ever accept them again from Wikipedia. There's also the problem with the Asian ISP's -- they could care less and won't respond, esspecially the ones in Taiwan -- I've tried.

There is no use for each admin to bombard them with such complaints. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l(a)wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
