[Wikipedia-l] Meta.wikipedia has been down for a number of days

[rose.parks at att.net]

Thank you Mr. Crocker for reminding me. Yes - 
meta.wikipedia.com  has been showing MySQL errors for at 
least five days and is unusable. All the previous 
content no longer displays either.
     I hope someone is trying to correct this.

          As Ever,

            Ruth Ifcher
