Help me!! Email error
Please can someone change my email address on en.wikipedia to joanneb66@mailinator.com. I can't really remember the usual email I have on en.wikipedia, so that's why I need this done. --JoanneB 15:15, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

question
hi, this is Pundit from Polish Wikipedia. I have been wondering, if you would be so kind as to advice me on one feature, we've been discussing recently in our community: would it be possible somehow to automatically count the amount of text ADDED/EDITED for our registered users? Ideally, excluding the text DELETED/EDITED in the next 1/2/3 edit(s) after the last edit by the user for whom the number is counted... The reason for this feature is quite important: we are considering limiting voting rights only to users, who are active in the last 3/6 months. Currently, the sheer number of edits is used as a measure of activity, which in my opinion is unfair to people who often write one big article for hours and place it with one "edit". If you would be so kind as to comment even on theoretical possibilities of automatic measuring the total amount of text added by user in Main in 3/6 months, similarly to measuring number of edits, I would be most grateful! cheers Pundit|discussion.

Bot to grab every revision from enwiki as it is being made and insert into mirror wiki's database
Hi River, I was told by someone on the Pywikipedia listserv that you might be able to help with a project I am working on. I want to create a continuously up-to-date enwiki mirror by downloading the enwiki data dump and then using a bot to grab every revision from enwiki as it is being made. (For more info, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#Real-time_updates_of_Wikipedia_mirror ) I contacted Wikimedia and they said that live feeds are no longer being offered to new customers. So, using a bot would seem to be the only way to accomplish what I am trying to do. It is possible that other mirrors could mirror from my mirror, and that bots that need to check RecentChanges and review new edits could also do this on my wiki rather than on enwiki, so that the net impact on Wikimedia server load would actually be negative. Any thoughts on this? Perhaps there is already some code out there that I can adapt to my purposes, or I can get my data from the toolserver rather from enwiki directly. I do want to make sure that replag isn't too bad, because this will be not just a mirror but a supplement to enwiki (as described in the thread above) used by editors and not just readers, and any replag beyond a few seconds could cause disruption of that editing process.
