Dear Members,
I am a PhD student in a reputed university. My Research is on blog 
classification using Wikipedia Categories.As for my experiment, I use 12 main 
categories of Wikipedia.I want to identify " which particular article belongs 
to which main 12 categories?".So I wrote a program to collect the subcategories 
of each article and classify based on 12 categories offline.
I have downloaded already wiki-dump which consists of around 3 million article 
titles.My program takes this 3 million article titles and goes to online 
Wikipedia website and fetch the subcategories.Our university network 
administrators are worried that, Wikipedia would consider as DDOS attack and 
could block our IP address, if my program functions.In order to get permission 
from Wikipedia, I was searching allover. I could able to find wikien-l members 
can help me.Could you please suggest me, whom to contact, what is the procedure 
to get approval for our IP address to do the process or other suggestions
Eagerly waiting for a positive reply
Thanks and RegardsRamesh
