FW: [WikiEN-l] Problem with "My Watchlist" on en.wikipedia?
by Poor, Edmund W 03 Dec '03

-----Original Message----- From: Arwel Parry [mailto:arwel@cartref.demon.co.uk] Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 3:52 PM To: wikien-l(a)wikipedia.org Subject: [WikiEN-l] Problem with "My Watchlist" on en.wikipedia? Something seems to have broken "My Watchlist" on English Wikipedia since I last used it about 8 hours ago (it's working OK on Welsh Wikipedia). When I select "my watchlist" I get the headings as far as "My Watchlist (for user "Arwel Parry") and nothing below, and no menu or logo on the left. Could someone take a look at it a.s.a.p. please? -- Arwel Parry http://www.cartref.demon.co.uk/

Hello, Could be math regeneration broken? I tried to put a new formula on [[w:en:user:grin]] (for testing) and it links to a nonexistant directory. Same on hungarian wikipedia (where it was noticed first). Peter

Backups and stuff
by Brion Vibber 03 Dec '03

03 Dec '03

Haven't yet worked out exactly where backups are going to be coming from. The backup I made while transferring is currently in the usual locations, but in gzip instead of bzip2 compression (since that was faster). download.wikipedia.org main page doesn't reflect this just yet; go in manually if you _really_ want it now. As an experiment, an xdelta diff is available between the 20031129 and 20031203 cur en dumps; this is made against the uncompressed source version. The delta is about 5 megabytes, compared with ~140 megs for the bzipped complete dump. http://download.wikipedia.org/archives/en/20031203_cur_delta http://sourceforge.net/projects/xdelta If you don't have lots of memory, this might run slow. It would probably run really slow on the old dump. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

I was bored so I started clicking on things. Apparently the sysop function "rollback" is immune to a database freeze. I hope I didn't mess anything up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Recentchanges http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Donald_Rumsfeld&diff=0&oldid=186… -- mav

Rodet and Tencin have >the virtue of being short and easy to type? Marie de Vichy-Chamrond I found a quote from la marquise du Deffand "It is only the first step which costs" "Il n�y a que le premier pas qui co�te." There is no article on wikipedia about her. She should be called "Vichy-Chamrond" Marie-Th�r�se Rodet She is refered to as Mme "Geoffrin", not Rodet. She held one of the most famous place. She sponsored Diderot encyclopedia. She was a great interviewer, famous for being very subtile a woman. Mme Geoffrin focused on philosophy. She was not of high birth (and I like the idea...though not of high society origin, she was very well known, and really had impact) Julie de Lespinasse She was a passionate... But she should be "de Lespinasse". That is a bit of a problem. Claudine Alexandrine Gu�rin de Tencin She should be called "de Tencin" normally. She was previously a nonne :-) From what I read, she was very much of a manipulator. Mme de Tencin place was very open, to actors, politicians... Mme du Deffand, Mlle de Lespinasse, Mme Necker places were very much open to women; there are sometimes considered as feminists. ------ I support Geoffrin, that is a good name for a server :-))) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
