Yes, you are right, sticking with CP1252 does seem better. I've just updated 10K and many fewer diffs are dropped and the characters display correctly in my Web browser (such as the "København" article Martin Pedersen noted.) http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/~reagle/wp-redux/ > I've uploaded my latest attempt at converting the backup to XML: > > http://noc.wikimedia.org/~tstarling/wikipedia-2001-08-xml.7z I had a brief look, and I hope it will be useful as an intermediate transition for importing into a wiki, but I'm gonna stick with the original diff_log file for now since I've wasted so much time getting the line feeds and encoding issues sussed out, I don't want to add another layer of XML issues just yet. :-) _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
