2012/4/27 Nicolai Erbs &lt;erbs(a)ukp.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de&gt; Here you have one English Wikipedia dump from 20080103 http://dumps.wikimedia.org/archive/ But I remember some old dumps were corrupted. Ariel, is that dump OK? -- Emilio J. Rodríguez-Posada.

Thanks for your answers so far! I would like to compare contexts of links in two versions of Wikipedia for the purpose of named entity disambiguation (one is a current version and the other one should be from August, 2008). It might be possible to reconstruct a version but this could be time-consuming. Additionally, wouldn't I miss those articles that have been deleted in the meantime?

You can use a recent dump and only analyze the data up to 20080103 Best, Diederik On Fri, Apr 27, 2012 at 10:16 AM, emijrp <emijrp@gmail.com<mailto:emijrp@gmail.com>> wrote: 2012/4/27 Nicolai Erbs <erbs@ukp.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de<mailto:erbs@ukp.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de>> English, please.

Good question, but I don't need to do that. I just need to extract all possible contexts for every link to a specific target. I don't compare different revisions of an article directly, it's merely a comparison of which knowledge could be extracted with links from different versions.

But if a page exists in August 2008 and not in the current dump, how are you going to compare the two pages? - Diane From: xmldatadumps-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org [mailto:xmldatadumps-l-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Nicolai Erbs Sent: Friday, April 27, 2012 10:29 AM To: Diederik van Liere; emijrp Cc: xmldatadumps-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Subject: Re: [Xmldatadumps-l] Old dump for Wikipedia (August 8th, 2008) Thanks for your answers so far!
