Hi Jim, I added the CAPTCHA verification, since I had to delete about 10-20 spam entries per day. Now it's exactly zero. Sorry, that it didn't work out for you - you have to enter both words, if you are unsure. This captcha verfication is actually very cool. Visit their website to understand their task:
http://recaptcha.net/ They actually scan books. The OCR routines are not perfect, but they can estimate very well if they can read a word or not. What recaptcha does is, that if the OCR routines can't read a word, this word will show up in this verfication routine. They always show two words. For one word they know the meaning for the other word not. Humans read both words and enter them. If many humans agree that one word has a certain meaning, this word becomes a known word. In that way humans support the OCR routines. Since these words can't be read by OCR algorithms, spammers have no chance to scan this words as well automatically. I consider this project as totally ingenious. So please try it again. I know it's a little annoying, but it was too much work to delete the spammer's content. And you also have the cosy warm feeling that you did something useful in passing the captcha verification :) regards, Werner Jim Dishaw wrote: > I tried to create an account to edit the wiki and failed miserably.
