No, I think it really has been two years (September 2006 to be precise). I'm pretty sure there have been no complete dumps this calendar year. I believe there was one (or two?) full dump process that claimed to run to completion in 2007 but it was later found to have been truncated (i.e. it didn't really dump all of enwiki, only a portion of it). If I am wrong and there really is a more recent complete history dump of enwiki floating around somewhere, then I'd love to hear about it, but I don't believe that is the case. -Robert Rohde _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
