I've had people reporting to me the same about the
Esperanto version (Esperanto runs slow, English runs
fast), but I haven't experienced it myself.

You can find statistics on http://de.wikipedia.org/stats for the german wiki and http://www.wikipedia.org/stats for english wiki.
Wikipedia is slow, because the two servers we're using are very overloaded. We should soon get a new dual-opteron which will become the db server.

Already a very active one at [[Current events]]. Which, BTW, helps keep the
/encyclopedia/ up-to-date. Wikipedia would be harmed by diverting that effort
into a different project - it is simply way too similar to just updating the
encyclopedia to reflect current events.
Besides, there is already Indymedia.
Oh and I like the Wikimedia logo /exactly/ the way it is. The only thing I
would change on the MediaWiki logo is to obtain a photo of a more perfect and
healthy flower (unless that is supposed to be somehow symbolic ;).
The PM logo was a wonderful concept but PM's specific implementation of that
idea was a monster that needed refinement. The runners up did not need such
refinement (as always, IMO).

Hey, sorry to keep bugging you all, but I think I've
missed like a few months worth of messages here and
I'm trying to catch up. Anyway, is there any mirror
site for Wikipedia where you can just read the
Wikipedia? Basically, I want a place to go where I
can read the Wikipedia when the server is
sloooooooooooooooooooow. If not, it might be a good
idea to set one up. Perhaps
http://www.wikipedia-imitation.org/ ? ;-)
Thanks,
Chuck

G'day
This message doesn't seem to have been saved on the archive properly, see
http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2003-November/012902.html
It did go out to those subscribed to the full list (at least I got my copy)
but I don't know whether it was in the digest.
So I'm trying again. Apologies to those who now have two copies (assuming
it works this time).

It appears that a hard-banned user from the English Wikipedia is now active
on the Meta, see

and

Any advice as to how to handle the Meta contributions would be appreciated.
As I said in the Village Pump, there are some good points being made, just
in the wrong place IMO. They are provocative and interesting, but IMO some
of them don't belong in Wikipedia at all (even the Meta), and there's
considerable risk of myself and others wasting time if we're not careful.
This is my first post to any Wikipedia mailing list. It was suggested on
the Pump that it should be raised on the English Wikipedia list, but it
seems to me to better fit the guidelines for this one.

Are there any statistics publically available? Which SQL statements
are issued when?
Broundground for my question is: at certain times de.wikipedia is
terribly overloaded (or unresponsive) and I'd like to know the reason
why.

Oh my, well, is the dispute over place names? Or more substantive
issues than that?
If the dispute is over place names, then subject to the advice of
Germans I know, I am willing to decree what strikes me as the
obviously correct solution: things are to be named in the German
wikipedia what the majority of Germans call them, and things are to be
named in the Polish wikipedia what the majority of Poles call them.
Also, is there any suspicion that a banned user (HJ) has returned?
She was always stirring that topic up.
