Re: Deleted Image Restoration
by Menchi Zh-En WP 20 Jun '03

20 Jun '03

Just now, I re-uploaded the same image twice, and clicked "Del" beside THAT version, fully expecting only that extra version'd be deleted. But nope, all history of all images are gone, even the description (that had been changed) too. However, the image remains, and so do the link-lists: See http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Smaller_map_of_China.png I tried to restore, but that's not even on the "restore deleted page" list.

Re: [WikiFR-l] what ??? The server crashed when I was setting my prefs
by Anthere 20 Jun '03

20 Jun '03

I found what happened. Yesterday, I changed my preferences "offset time" (because the server does not take into account our summer time, so I switch from +1 to +2). The pb occured immediately after. What apparently happened is that the server did not save *any* prefs at all. That was probably exactly at the moment the server got down yesterday. Because 1 mn after, the en wiki was down. This morning, I went to my prefs page, and *everything* was blank. I mean, there was absolutely no choice, not even radio buttons No password no email no skin choice was on no toolbar was checked all "text box" dimensions were empty (null) all options were unchecked Basically, all you could see was Anthere, number 3, and empty choices everywhere, even when these choices are mandatory. Very curious so, not my dino browser Aoi, just "perfect timing" Ant --- Guillaume Blanchard <gblanchard(a)arcsy.co.jp> wrote: > Tout ce passe bien, merci :o) > Serieusement, y a aucun probleme en dehors de la > terrible lenteur du > serveur. > C'est p'tre l'occasion de changer ton dinobrowser > ;o) > > Aoineko > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Anthere" <anthere6(a)yahoo.com> > To: <wikifr-l(a)wikipedia.org>; > <wikitech-l(a)wikipedia.org> > Sent: Friday, June 20, 2003 8:33 AM > Subject: [WikiFR-l] what ??? > > > > What is going on on the fr wiki ? > > > > My prefs are all weird.

Finnish locale - translation complete
by Juho Schultz 19 Jun '03

19 Jun '03

Hello, the Finnish locale for Wikipedia is attached (gzipped) I ripped the half-ready translation from the Meta-Wikipedia, and completed it. However, I can not put it directly back there. All the Scandinavian letters (auml and ouml) turn to question marks when using cut-and-paste, and I really don't feel like typing it all again. The translation should be checked for typos and mistakes, but it should be understandable (to a native Finn, at least). I have removed some Finglish (Special = Erityis, not Spesiaali etc.) from the old translation. If there is anything weird in the file, let me know. I really have no idea on php (I prefer python or tcl) so this may contain some odd mistakes. Juho Schultz e-mail: juho.schultz(a)astro.helsinki.fi www.astro.helsinki.fi/~jschultz Observatory P.O.

wiki textbook subdomain
by Karl Wick 19 Jun '03

19 Jun '03

Hi, I have a request, with the blessing of Jimbo Wales, to open up a subdomain on WP for the exclusive development of open content textbooks. The subdomain name http://textbook.wikipedia.org has been suggested .. Jimmy told me to send an email to this group so that someone could do the under-the-hood work to get it going ... Thank you very much !! Karl [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Karlwick] Jimmy Wales wrote: Write to wikitech-l, and pass along my endorsement of the idea. I'm personally (a) clueless about how to do this, and fearful of breaking something and (b) totally swamped. Brion is taking a week or two off, as I recall, so technical stuff isn't being handled with the usual diligence. This will happen, yes, but it will take a couple of weeks I bet.

Deleted image restoration

Is the inability to restore deleted image intentional (if so, why)? Menchi Zh-En _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

"Warte auf de.wikipedia.org ..."
by Kurt Jansson 18 Jun '03

18 Jun '03

In case you haven't noticed: Wikipedia is f**king slow again about once in an hour. At least the German Wp. Time for restricting special pages and searches again? Or should we start with SQL queries this time? I hope not everybody is as annoyed as I am. Kurt

Pliny bandwidth bottleneck?
by erik_moeller＠gmx.de 18 Jun '03

18 Jun '03

Could it be that we're hitting a bandwidth bottleneck on pliny and/or larousse? The Wikipedias are really slow, but it's not so much the queries that take long -- the page loading itself is fairly slow. To test bandwidth, I did a #wget http://en.wikipedia.org/tarballs/20030616_cur_table.sql.bz2 and I got only 6-7 KB/s (I seem to remember that I got about 30 KB/s on the DB download the last time). Anyone got an idea what's going on? Regards, Erik
