I was not aware of this slowness. We can do something about this, most likely. Are other people experiencing this?
The situation (for me) is exactly the opposite of what it was before the change to www2.wikipedia.com. Then 'Recent Changes' for three days loaded in a couple of seconds and now it dies on the header. (I'm on a dial-up connection from Poland) I think I should have done a traceroute research of the two servers before posting, though. Sorry about that. I know it might be a nuisance for people with fast connections but I just love the Wikipedia so much... :-) Regards, kpj.

I have a bit of a moral dilemma here: some articles on wikipedia seem to pop-up non-wikified and written slightly 'too well'. It seems obvious that it is a copy/paste job from another source. What should we/I do in such a case? Delete it? It could be from a free source or someone's work for work/uni/school that he just wishes to share with the community... Plz help me out on this one. ps. who subscribes to this list anyway? could mailman give us a list of members?
I do subscribe to the list but regettably I am not likely to contribute any more to Wikipedia since the new server has become so horribly slow :-((
