Brion, thanks for the links to nostalgiawiki, could I please mirror (backup) the archive files on the site and upload them to the Internet Archive?
Sure! Actually I can probably upload those under Wikimedia's account for good measure...
I searchedhttp://web.archive.org/web/1996-2004re_/http://download.wikimedia.orgArchive's Wayback Machine and couldn't find any full edit history dumps past this onehttp://ia310908.us.archive.org/3/items/enwiki-2006-11-04-backup/from 11-04-2006. I have a 20070402 dump herehttp://www.jeffkubina.org/data/wikipedia/dumps/enwiki/200704/enwiki-20070402-pages-meta-history.xml.7z
I've got a fair number of dumps from 2002-2003 sitting around offline, as well as a few from 2005-2006 (no enwiki full history in that period), but not much after that. (The downloads server was pretty aggressively expiring dumps for some time.)
We'll have more regular ones available after the dump script has been retooled to work in parallel with sane restart abilities.
