Hi,

Earlier today there was a power failure at one of Wikimedia's facilities in 
Tampa which affected the master database servers that we replicate from.  This 
caused an interruption in replication for a couple of hours (but no changes 
were being processed during most of that time).

This also caused a short outage of the web services (JIRA, MediaWiki and 
FishEye) which are hosted in that facility.

The problem is now fixed and replication is running normally; however, due to 
the nature of the failure, there may be inconsistencies in the database between 
the master and replicated copies.  Please report this in JIRA if you notice any 
problems.

	- river.
