[00:00:00] can i try and do a blackberry one for you guys [00:00:20] sure, there's a #wikimedia-mobile channel that discusses these sorts of things in more detail [00:00:32] in their [00:01:18] There a user in #wikipedia saying he's ip-blocked from reading wikipedia with the following error message: "Scripts should use an informative User-Agent string with contact information, or they may be IP-blocked without notice. " he's on Verizon 3g he says [00:01:23] and using the stock android browser [00:01:42] That's very weird [00:01:51] I wonder if there's a Verizon proxy that's not sending a UA [00:01:58] can anyone tell me why Special:PermanentLink isn't listed on Special:SpecialPages? [00:02:03] Snowolf: If he uses https (i.e. visits https://en.wikipedia.org/ ) does the problem go away? [00:02:11] No. [00:02:44] Oh hi, CoJaBo is the user [00:02:45] Are you able to tether another device (e.g. laptop) ? That way you can find out if the problem is the connection or the browser [00:03:02] RoanKattouw/Snowolf hrm, so when i was doing an update I noticed a lot of ip's that are old in bans. I'm curious if one of those was reassigned to verizon at some point and is the problem…. [00:03:19] oh it's only if no user-agent is sent, nm [00:03:32] im also banned from Google, so I think its some kind of wider blacklist/abuse [00:03:42] Hmm then it's possible your on an IP blocklist I guess [00:03:54] Gmail and my apps work fine tho, i guess it only applies to their webpages [00:04:10] The only way to be sure is to use tethering so your laptop is connecting to Wikipedia over the Verizon 3G connection [00:04:21] Then you run a browser like Firefox or Chrome, that'll be sending a User-Agent for sure [00:04:43] Tethering doesn't seem to work on this device; i did try both stork browser and Fennec [00:04:47] stork [00:04:50] stock even [00:04:52] CoJaBo: can you go here ? http://whatsmyuseragent.com/ [00:05:03] show us the results ? [00:05:23] Its.. blank? [00:08:50] can anyone tell me why Special:PermanentLink isn't listed on Special:SpecialPages? [00:09:28] can conform it [00:09:39] LeslieCarr: K, both browsers, its blank and i get php errors [00:10:49] CoJaBo: interesting, I would suggest calling tech support and saying "hey, no user agent is showing up" though I do have a feeling that you might get a first line person who has no clue… :-/ [00:11:55] Probably. I think its just that site tho, cuz i tested it a month ago and the ua showed up fine in logs when visiting my own site [00:15:58] LeslieCarr: Is there anything I can do in the mean time? Mirror, etc. I suppose eventually, Vzw will have to fix the issue (ban the idiot running spambots or whatever) tho i dunno when that 'll be [00:16:26] CoJaBo: I am sadly not familiar enough with the software… RoanKattouw do you know ? [00:17:16] LeslieCarr: There's not much software familiarity required; as long as our servers see a User-Agent header, they're happy [00:18:06] I wonder if something busted on Vzw 's end is stripping it... This is strange [00:19:45] Wait. This happens on https, so that cant be.. [00:23:57] RoanKattouw: Is there any other way the ban would happen? [01:29:32] @replag [01:29:46] Ryan_Lane: No replag currently. See also "replag all". [01:29:51] Ryan_Lane: No replag currently. See also "replag all". [01:29:52] Ryan_Lane: No replag currently. See also "replag all". [01:48:52] Lol [01:49:20] The ddbot chorus? [01:49:28] Yeah, just memo'd krinkle [02:14:15] !log LocalisationUpdate completed (1.20wmf1) at Sat Apr 28 02:14:14 UTC 2012 [02:14:23] Logged the message, Master [09:20:05] hi [09:20:59] I am looking for help [09:21:26] about registering el.wikinews [09:21:34] in Google news [09:22:33] I have already communicated with Brian Mcneal [09:22:53] and he proposed to me to adress here [09:23:54] we have a flagged revisions version and also a review process in el.wikinews [09:24:20] which are required from Google [14:53:30] Can anybody figure out why this file disappeared? http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Abel.jpg [15:09:32] * jeremyb can't remember who was investigating those (Logan_ ^^^). maybe apergos remembers [15:23:15] I won't look at it today [15:23:26] it you bz it and assign it to me I'll look monday [15:23:29] btw [15:23:57] totally unrelated, there are elections here on May 6 and I just saw the first ad for the Pirate Party here :-) :-D [15:24:15] which uses music under a creative commons license! [15:25:00] I don't think they are going to get any seats but their ad is pretty bad-ass [15:26:07] apergos: wasn't asking to look at it, just to remember who was looking at it. ;) but i guess the response means that person was you [15:26:16] * SarrusAway is set as away : Reason(Away) [15:26:50] basically I can check to see whether there's a copy in snaps, whether it was an incmplete move, etc [15:27:04] depending on what it was I might pass it to someone else [15:27:07] oooooh, CC music in an ad! [15:27:27] if it's as simple as "gone from disk but present in snaps" I could restore it (but it would be nice to know when and why it went) [15:27:41] * jeremyb wants to see the ad [15:27:48] with universal subtitles [15:27:49] yeah the ad is totally for net geeks (sadly a minotiry here) [15:27:52] *minority [15:28:48] ohhhhhh boy [15:29:37] we have one hour of discussion between members of the ten political parties that are likely to get seats (well two probably wno't but they won air time via a court order) [15:30:51] * jeremyb assumes it's televised [15:30:59] uh huh [15:31:05] * vvv prefers PD music [15:31:05] pirate party not among them [15:31:33] but also yay the neonazis apparently aren't among them (though they were listed in the court order).. unless I didn't hear them listed off [15:32:03] * Sarrus is no longer away : Gone for 5 mins 47 secs [15:32:28] Sarrus: please turn that off [15:34:06] the pirate pary has an international page but their web site looks down (overloaded maybe) [15:34:09] *party [15:34:58] ah it loaded up but sadly for you it's in greek :-D [16:40:13] OTRS 2012042810006279 says: [16:40:14] > When trying to download an article as a PDF, I get the following [16:40:14] > message: [16:40:14] > ERROR Version mismatch between Javascript and PHP code.
