I wonder if you are anyone I know. Deb

Welcome! London is awesome... I plan to be there in late August. I noticed your interest in languages; do you plan to contribute any to the non-English Wikipedias? --Chuck Smith
- I don't contribute to the non-English Wikipedias, but I do look out for articles in the other Wikipedias to translate into English (mainly from French and German). Hopefully we will start to see some of the non-English Wikipedias really take off - then they would be a fantastic source of new material.
Hello, in searching Google to see if it was ever going to reindex wikipedia (yes, it finally has) I noticed that some of the articles I worked on were on the first page of search results (this alarmed me rather than appeasing me--I added another 2 paragraphs to one of them).
I've since gone through and searched mav's page and LDC's and found a few dozen articles which are on the first page of google results, and quite a few which are the first or second page listed. I thought this might be a useful thing to know because it points out high profile articles that we might want to be especially certain are complete, accurate, and neutral. (there's some talk about this at user talk:Maveric149).
Anyway, mav pointed out that I might want to stop doing the work manually because you may know of a way to do it automagically. Do you?
Thanks, --KQ 23:23 Sep 1, 2002 (PDT)
- No, I don't think there's an easy way of doing that automagically. Those pages are a great idea though - keep up the good work! Enchanter 15:07 Sep 2, 2002 (PDT)
- user:The Epopt came up with a Perl script that does it; he mentioned it earlier today (Sept. 2) in a post to wikipedia-l. I hope it proves useful. :-) --KQ
