Russian Wikipedia award?
by Michael Snow 03 Dec '06

03 Dec '06

According to our tip line at The Wikipedia Signpost, the Russian Wikipedia has some kind of notice on their front page, apparently about winning some kind of honor for the Russian-language Web. If so, congratulations! Anybody who reads Russian or knows something more about this? --Michael Snow

Static HTML dumps
by Tim Starling 03 Dec '06

03 Dec '06

New static HTML dumps of Wikipedia have been made, they are linked from: http://static.wikipedia.org/ There are compressed archives of the HTML available for download for all languages *except* English. Apparently p7zip leaks memory and eventually crashes when it tries to compress it, but hopefully I'll have something sorted out in the next few days. There is no image snapshot this time around due to disk space constraints. Most of the images on the English Wikipedia main page are now broken because they were deleted shortly after they were featured. -- Tim Starling
