RE: List Admin's of Wikitech-l
by Poor, Edmund W 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

Walter made me a list-admin for Wikitech-l which I consider a "serving" position - not a "moderating" position. What would you all like me to do? Is there a spam problem, or any other old business to take care of? Ed Poor

[[en2]] Date handling
by Arwel Parry 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

I've just realised what's been nagging me when I've been looking at articles on English Wikipedia recently -- the date format preferences have disappeared on en2. I don't wish to restart the date format wars again, but can someone re-enable them pronto, please? -- Arwel Parry http://www.cartref.demon.co.uk/

I shall use them while waiting for Tomos's proposal to go through. Thanks. Ed Poor

I strongly agree. If I want to see the page, I can always use the Preview button. And when server response time is slow, I'd rather not do anything that makes it slower. I'd also like a shortcut from Recent Changes that takes me directly to editing an article's talk page. If I want to add my 2 cents to the discussion about the [[Rachel Corrie]] page, I don't need to have to see the beautifully formatted text FIRST. I'll settle for reading the raw text. Most of the time, I just want to append to them anyway. Right now, I must: 1. Click on the article link, and wait for the page to load. 2. Click on the "Discuss this page" link, and wait for THAT page to load. If we adopt Tomos's suggestion, I will be very happy ^_^ Ed Poor Developer & Sysop

RE: [Wikitech-l] Please fix the wikiNL-l-admin at wikipedia.orgemail adress
by Poor, Edmund W 29 Sep '03

I am the admin of the English Wikipedia mailing list (wikien-l). So I have a bit of experience tweaking the settings. > On Mon, 2003-09-29 at 02:38, Walter Vermeir wrote: > > The wikiNL-l-admin -at- wikipedia.org email adress still does not > > work.

Sending to wikitech-l-admin sends a bounce message back to me at wikitech-l-owner; sending to wikinl-l-admin gets rejected and discarded, not even sending a bounce. Would anybody like me to be an admin for the Wikitech-l mailing list? If yes, please find a secure way to give me the password. Ed Poor * (212) 456-5479 work * (917) 723-1644 cell

Brion, we're getting close. English Wikipedia reappeared Webalizer data are shown as well You forgot to patch: WikiReportsInput.pl line 186 change 13 to 14. Wikipedia's are still ordered by word count. You only need to rerun the reports job (2 minutes) Thanks, Erik Zachte
