See http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=AmericanSamoa There was a quite a bit of deletion move and undeletion trickery to move the first revision on the XML (the one from office.bomis.com) to the history of American_Samoa. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=American_Samoa&oldid=233188 Seems AmericanSamoa page id was recreated during that. There's another id oddness on that page, since that office edit is from January 2001 and has id 233188. It has listed (wrongly) as previous on the diff links one from July 2002 with revid of 205006. It is listed as previous because 205006 < 233188. That older revision has a newer revid because originally, only current version of articles were imported from UseModWiki (those that are tagged as from Conversion script). Older edits like this one were imported later, after that 205006 edit was made. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
