Re: [Wikimedia-l] Only IP editing allowed on Wikipedia
Not planned perhaps, but I wish it were. It would be fantastically great for us to start serious experiments of all sorts for ten minutes here and there, to begin to understand the subtle dynamics of contribution.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Only IP editing allowed on Wikipedia

Have you ever thought how many IPs are vandalism reversers? and other stuff :) On Mon, Apr 30, 2012 at 5:01 PM, Erik Moeller e...@wikimedia.org wrote: On Mon, Apr 30, 2012 at 12:33 AM, WereSpielChequers werespielchequ...@gmail.com wrote: Having been logged off about ten times Our memcached cluster (which handles session information) has been experiencing stability issues in the last few weeks.
