IIRC Jimbo was dead set against this type of move (but redirection from a
county domain to the .org one is fine). IMO it is bad enough already that
xx.wikipedia.org looks like a different domain.
I thought we were all one big project at one domain on one server - having
different domains will only tend to enforce a sense of separateness. Also
what happens if the owner of the domain doesn't or can't pay the bill for it
or decides to yank it (not that I think Kpjas would ever do that)? If
something does happen then a lot of links will be broken and I thought that
was something that was greatly frowned upon around here.

There is a very persisant vandal afoot that is jumping accounts and reverting
articles to older versions at an alarming rate. I can barely keep up by using
the rollback feature.
PLEASE somebody with godlike developer powers block this fuck. I've been at
this full time for over an hour -- There are many other things I would rather
be doing on Wikipedia.

I think it is way past time that admins can view users' IPs. This is
ridiculous!
This VANDAL started with user:Annetit and has already created about a dozen
other accounts just to stay a step ahead of me rollbacking his edits (since
for each new user name on RC I have to review the edits before determining
they are vandalism or not -- which is damn difficult because the VANDAL is
often reverting to slightly older versions!)
One more variable is needed for Polish Wikipedia:
genetive form of name of month.
For dates like `1 stycznia' (1st of January) in Polish language
genetive is used.
Names in genetive are (modulo ASCII-zation of diactrics):
stycznia
lutego
marca
kwietnia
maja
czerwca
lipca
sierpnia
wrzes'nia
paz'dziernika
listopada
grudnia
The server has some mad clock drift; it's currently about 4 minutes slow
compared to official time as reported by www.time.gov. The hardware
clock is actually only about one minute off -- the other three minutes
of drift have apparently accumulated over less than ten days of uptime!
Is there a more or less authoritative time server in or about Bomis-land
to sync with, or should I go looking for a public Network Time Daemon
server?

Hi,
I am having a strange and irritating problem: whenever I click on recent
changes, all I get are changes as recent as "18: 38" which was about 20
minutes ago. If I click on "last 50 changes" I get the last 50 changes
starting from the present time. But if I click on "recent changes" again I
go back 20 minutes into the past!
Also, when I try to open an article I only get the version as of 20 minutes
ago. Only if I click on "edit this page" do I then see the current version.
I cleared my cache (which is the only thing I can think of) and I am not
having problems on any other web-pages.
If this isn't a problem on your end, I am sorry to bother you!

Hello Jason,
I think I got mixed up between the two mail
boxes...and I missed your mail...
I created new accounts by hand for main, en, tech,
announ, inter.
I don't need the old mailing list accounts any more
(anthere5yahoo.com). Is it possible for you to remove
them quickly ? Otherwise I'll go back to do it.
Thanks for your help anyway

In the old days, RecentChanges was a regular page, and now it's a
special page. That's sensible, but one thing that we lost was the
ability to edit the text at the top.
Since this is the one page that everyone sees every day, it would be
an ideal place for me to place 'message of the day' type announcements
and reminders. That's what I used to use it for.
Today I would like to post a gentle reminder about etiquette, because
we've had a few too many etiquette breaches lately, and I want to
remind people that personal attacks are not allowed.
How hard would it be to make this page editable, either just by me, or
whatever? (This would probably need to be a protected page, as it's a
prime target for vandalism.)
I could always just edit the code, I guess, but that seems icky.

There is a journalist from a danish technical weekly newspaper writing an
article about Wikipedia.
I can answer most of his questions myself, but I need some help on these:
- What server does Wikipedia run on?
I need some details about CPU, speed, RAM, harddrive and stuff like that.
- What software is running on the server?
I know we use Apache, MySQL and PHP, but what versions?
Do we use more programs?
- How many hits a day does Wikipedia get?
Preferably I would like to know the numbers for the Danish Wikipedia and the
English Wikipedia.
I have seen http://www.wikipedia.org/stats/ but does that include the Danish
Wikipedia?

Christian
