If we can get them to filter upload.wikimedia.org instead of en.wikipedia.org, that would fix the vandalism issue. Failing that, I'd like to see if we can get the ISPs to send XFF headers. The vandalism issue was mostly ignored in the news reports, and mainly affects Wikipedia editors and administrators rather than the general public. -- Tim Starling _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
