Hi there.
What is http://geoiplookup.wikimedia.org/ and how is it used in the wikipedia articles? I haven't seen this subdomain loading until recently.
It's a IP-to-location lookup service[0]. The only thing I know it's being used on is for targeting the country-specific donation information.

Thanks Chad. I'm interested in some more informations about that, especially how does this relates to the Privacy policy.
Is the information stored anywhere? Is there any way to opt-out of this? Is there another service used for this project (I'm thinking Google Latitude, but there are others)?
Thanks, Strainu
