[09:46] underscor: what's the status of your downloads and uploads? [09:46] I've finished all mine [17:23] ----------------------------------------------- [17:23] Hello, [17:23] It is a very good thing to backup websites as you never know when they [17:23] One of our site staff discovered your wiki backup project yesterday. [17:23] offline all the time. In each case, we only put up our saved content [17:23] will go offline. We do this a bit because Ultima Online fansites go [17:23] when the site is gone. [17:24] However, you list all the wiki archives for anyone to download while [17:24] already over the past few years. Of course we are unhappy to see the [17:24] the websites are still online. Our site has been copied a few times [17:24] this. [17:24] work of our members used for others gain. Some take great offense to [17:24] The problem I have is when someone now searches for UOGuide, one of [17:24] either like the archive of our site to be made inaccessible until such [17:24] the top results is a link to the archive you have made. We would [17:24] Let me know what can be done. Thank you. [17:24] a time the site is offline for good. If this is not possible then I [17:24] request our archive to be deleted. [17:24] ----------------------------------------------- [17:57] What's the license on their wiki? [18:27] I'll drop it out of the search engine. Give me the details [18:27] the itemname [18:45] SketchCow: http://archive.org/details/wiki-uoguidecom [18:45] chronomex: no details about license, not a creative common AFAIK [18:46] if it were a Creative Commons i will reply: NO. [19:27] Please inform mr. whiny he is out of the search engine. If he still shows up in a day or two, please inform us and we will shift it so it can't be found by search engines and is not indexed. [19:28] Optionally, you can tell him I was not for doing this, but his girlfriend was as good as the rest of the team says and I was convinced [19:38] lol [19:39] SketchCow: tbh it is true that the link appears in the first page of google results [19:40] which is what I think he was complaining about [19:41] Archiveteam != Google [19:41] buuuut exceptions can be made. [19:51] yes, IA is very high on google results in these cases [19:53] SketchCow: replied, BCC you a [19:53] -a [19:53] I think his issue here is with google indexing, not AT [19:54] err, IA [20:26] saw [21:40] I see people are noticing the dumps :p [21:40] <3 [21:41] I thought it was first result on Google [21:41] it's 10th here, can't see what he's complaining about O_o [21:42] Nemo_bis: it's in the first page [21:42] someone who wants to clone the site can easily find it, and he says people have cloned his site before :( [21:43] ridiculous [21:43] honestly? I'm unsurprised [21:43] someone who wants to clone the site surely know about export in MW [21:43] of course, but dumps make it easier [21:43] not quite [21:43] that wiki takes just a few mins to download [21:44] he should disable API and Special:Export if that's his worry [21:44] But of course I'm not going to tell him! [21:44] I hate when people do so. [21:45] is it still possible to scrape when they do so? [21:55] balrog: it's very difficult to prevent scraping with MediaWiki :p [21:56] hehe :D [21:56] one could still use action=raw [21:56] you can turn off history, if you're a dick [21:56] that sorta defeats the point of a wiki if you do that [21:56] not entirely [21:56] you can disable action=raw [21:56] some places turn off history viewing [21:56] and restrict action=edit to registered users [21:57] yeah... I can see that [21:57] btw what does wikia use? [21:57] there are a lot of wikis on wikia... [21:57] normal [21:57] so MW? [21:57] they do produce dumps [21:57] yes, a heavily patched version [21:58] oh, http://themacelite.wikidot.com needs to be backed up [21:58] including the files linked on the downloads page [21:58] the latter is easy, just wget http://campahunta.free.fr with warc [21:58] well [21:58] some files are there, others are on the wiki
