To access the English wikipedia through pliny (the bigger server), which may be faster while Larousse is overloaded: http://en2.wikipedia.org/
It's read/write for articles, but it's got a slightly outdated copy of the uploaded images, and I've disabled new uploads. New TeX images may stomp on each other too, but that can be sorted out later.
Please don't stomp on it too hard; that's the server with the database and all the other languages, too!
