Re: [Wikipedia-l] cut/paste
by rose.parks＠att.net 15 May '01

Members, I have a number of pages that were cut/pastes ...but from documents written by myself. This covers Japanese Language, Linear algebra, Mathematical Groups, parts of the ADA (the rest of public law) and more. These are subjects that I would not be happy just tossing up. I don't think anyone should remove a page, until they can show it was a cut/paste from someone else, not free domain. Further this is an administrators' job, it would seem. I think members should report such problems to an administrator. I find this whole post insulting, whether you are referring to my work or not.

New server slow
by Krzysztof P. Jasiutowicz 11 May '01

Hello, I'm not sure if this is just my experience but while the old server was blazingly fast the new one is terribly slow. I get time-outs on Recent Changes constantly. kpj. -- Krzysztof P.

This will happen someday
by Larry Sanger 11 May '01

11 May '01

Someday, someone will use Wikipedia to write a daily news summary, which will be archived and extensively wikified. We will have set up a mail-this-page-daily feature for Wikipedia, perhaps, and people will be able to receive this by e-mail. What will be cool about this is that one will be able instantly to get background on the subjects of the news because the news summaries will be wikified. Larry

Web links subpage
by Krzysztof P. Jasiutowicz 08 May '01

08 May '01

Hello all, I wonder whether we need another default link in the header/footer of every Wikipedia page. Almost all Wikipedia pages could and should have a subpage with related links on the World Wide Web. I think addition of a link called 'Related webpages' next to 'Preferences' would be desirable. Regards, kpj. -- Krzysztof P. Jasiutowicz, M.D | Czestochowa, Poland ... | http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki.cgi?Krzysztof_P._Jasiutowicz

Do we need templates ?
by Krzysztof P. Jasiutowicz 06 May '01

06 May '01

Hello all, Do we need templates of pages ? Groups of pages - rock bands, biographies, film entries share common features and therefore want some kind of templates. Pages of the same category edited by different people tend to follow sometimes incompatible patterns or disagree with each other. Regards, kpj. -- Krzysztof P. Jasiutowicz, M.D | Czestochowa, Poland ... | http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki.cgi?Krzysztof_P._Jasiutowicz

migration to new server
by Jason Richey 02 May '01

02 May '01

Wikipedia will be moving to a new server tomorrow, May 3rd. The change will cause an outage of about half an hour. This outage will occur sometime between 11:00am and 2:00pm PST. I expect this transition to be much smoother than the nupedia transition was (apologies to those who were adversely affected by the nupedia transition), because it is a far simpler site. Please feel free to e-mail me with any questions. -- "Jason C. Richey" <jasonr(a)bomis.com>
