The same search terms; when I searched, all the hits were for news articles about when de was blocked by German courts (I didn't bother to click through to see which incident exactly). I notice that even so general a search term as 'english german wikipedia' now brings up the occasional blog post comparing the two Wikipedias (though not Elian's). Given my past experience with Google's updating (eg http://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/92xdg/is_it_not_only_pointless_but_counterproductive_to/c0b96f3 ), this would seem to be another example of searches rebalancing Google's results. In the future, when I make claims about things that can't be found in Google, perhaps I'd better start taking screenshots so people don't think I'm making things up! - -- gwern -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEAREKAAYFAkprRLIACgkQvpDo5Pfl1oINlACfRbkxv2tUtiTHB/gLp7FLaBxM sngAoIIeASwz6eqnMX8OuD6ervQgORlr =gRxX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
