Demonmoo

64.26.170 put the demonmoo page back after it had been deleted. I'd like to 
figure out who this is and what else he's done but:
1. A "This user's contributions" query on an incomplete IP returns nothing. 
There is no indication what the last byte was.
2. How do I find the history of a page that's been deleted?

Demonmoo

He doesn't seem to have done any other damage:
http://wikipedia.com/wiki/special:contributions&theuser=64.26.170.155

The history of deleted articles is lost.

Where do you get 155 from?

Wiki down for an especially long time

Wikipedia was down for 2+1/2 hours this morning instead of the usual 4/3. 
During this time I tried accessing ross.bomis.com and that took three 
minutes. Normally it takes a few seconds, even when Wikipedia is 
inaccessible. What happened?

New server is in

The new server is in.

I'd like to send out passwords to people via pgp, except that I do not
know how to use pgp.  A terrible confession, but there it is.  :-)

Therefore, what I'd like to do is talk on the phone with one of the
developers who does know how to use pgp, and that person can
distribute passwords to the rest of the team.

I don't know where most of you live, except that I know Magnus is in
another country.  So probably Brion Vibber or LDC would be a good
choice, so as to keep the phone bill down.  :-)

Basically, the first devteam person to send me their phone number will win
a free phone call from me, with the root password for the new server.

New server

Jimbo wasn't kidding about the server being "new"--it doesn't even 
have Apache running on it yet.  I assume that's perhaps Jimbo's way 
of soliciting our help in installing Apache/PHP/MySQL?

Anyway, I have the password, and I'll send it to developers I know
who send me their PGP public key from their email address.  I couldn't
find anyone's public keys on the public servers except Axel, but his
was even older than my 1994 key, and I couldn't verify that it is
really the same Axel Boldt since it has an old address.

Date patch (Re: links in the sidebar)

Hi all,

I'm a frequent Wikipedia contributor, but only recently got motivated
enough to install the software and start hacking around with the code.

The date sidebar "feature" was always one that annoyed me, because it's a
good idea, but just wasn't done quite right.  I can see looking at the
code and recent mails to this list that Brion Vibber got frustrated and
took it out.  I'd like to propose re-adding a modified version, and I'm
including a patch off of a CVS snapshot from just a little while ago.

Here's Brion's criticisms that I hope I've addressed:

On 21 May 2002, Brion L. VIBBER wrote:

I'm linking to "June+3" rather than "June 3, 2002"

Wrapping this with a simple call to wikiLink() seems to fix this.

> * No path! (Thus doesn't work from http://www.wikipedia.com/ or
>   http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki.phtml?blahblahblah)

Once again, wrapping this with wikiLink() seems to fix the problem.

Below is my patch.  Please consider adding it.

Thanks

Looks like LDC won -- just as well, as I don't know how to use PGP
either. ;)  Time to dig out that old gpg installation...

You can see the full IP number if you are a sysop.

Wiki down for an especially long time

In the mornings (US time), Wikipedia is always very slow, probably
because everybody arrives at their desk and checks RecentChanges.
It's especially bad on Monday mornings.
